Paintings of different eras have different styles. If a painting does not conform to the characteristics of the era, it is likely to be a fake, and the same is true for calligraphy
3. Signatures and seals of calligraphy and painting
The identification of signatures is based on the author's penmanship and calligraphy skills, and the second is based on the calligrapher's and painter's habits of signing names and characters. The identification of seals can also be based on two aspects. First, the shapes and engraving methods of seals in different eras are different. The second is to look at the ink pads. After the Yuan Dynasty, oil was mostly used, while before the Song Dynasty, water marks were mostly used.
