Quote:No you can't. You'd first have to demonstrate that the same artist did all of the sculptures in question. Otherwise any discrepancies can be attributed to varying styles and techniques adopted by different artists.
Instead, we can!
The same artist made the group of Venus and Mars, and the clothes of Venus are clearly treated to represent fabric, while the same artist representing the leather of the subarmalis of Mars uses another treatment of the surface.
You'll find innumerable examples of the same and even better quality in the Hellenistic artistic production, you need only to observe carefully the details and maybe also reading something about the 'Naturalism' in the Greek-Roman Artistic production of the Classical Age, it's easy and also interesting. :wink:
