What is Epreuvre d’Artist?
Épreuve d'Artist refers to the artist's proofs in a limited edition of prints. These are a small number of prints reserved by the artist for personal use and are typically marked with the abbreviation E.A. (épreuve d'artist) or AP (artist's proof). Artist’s proofs are usually identical to the regular edition but are often considered more valuable due to their limited quantity.
