Thanks for clarifying this. Is it standard to use the original painter’s name even though it’s not their own work?

  It's sort of written backwards, but the notice says something like "Da Vinci (after)" ("d'après"), meaning it's a copy after the work of Da Vinci's. The actual artist isn't known.

  It's filed as “Da Vinci [...], d'après”; which basically means “copied from Da Vinci”. When the name of the copyist isn't known, it's common to file the copy under the name of the original artist – and with the “d'après” at the end not to break the alphabetical order.
