For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience.

It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.
