For collectors, dealers, and researchers tracing an artwork’s ownership history, this assistant turns pasted catalog entries, invoices, labels, and collection records into a dated provenance timeline. It flags gaps and conflicting names or dates, then suggests targeted questions for sellers, archives, or prior owners. You leave with an evidence-based ownership summary and a list of records to seek next.

Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m considering a 1930s landscape attributed to Maria Rossi. The seller has a 1978 invoice and a 1996 auction catalog; help me map the ownership timeline and spot gaps.
These catalog entries disagree about when the painting left the Devereux collection: one says 1942, another says 1946. Compare the wording and list questions for the archive.
I inherited a signed bronze with a gallery label reading “Paris, 1958” and a 1981 receipt from Lyon. What provenance clues should I record and what documents should I seek?
