Reproduction
A reproduction is a copy or replica of an original piece of artwork, created through various methods like printing, casting, or digital copying.
Reproductions allow more people to own and appreciate a piece of art that may be too rare or expensive in its original form. However, reproductions usually do not hold as much value as the original artwork. They are often used for educational purposes, in public displays, or as decorative pieces.
