Yeah, kira, definitely provide a link.

It sounds like a copy of some sort. Maybe a settei copy? Or maybe even a repro cel. *shrug*

I usually get "field picture" as the translation for what I would call genga. I've seen this description on sketches that are done on white paper and look to be final concept sketches before the douga is made from them. Like when the animator is designing the scene in pencil first.

Duplication I assume just means copy but without seeing the auction, it would be harder to tell. ^_^

Hiya Kira,
duplication field picture most of the time is a real production drawing used to make a repro cel from a CG colored show and are sold as one offs and the repro cel most of the time comes with the drawing as a set.(Field picture for cel duplication)
Studios sell the drawings to some dealers and they are the only ones that can make the offical repro cel,This is done for collectors because no cels were made for these shows do to using computers to color the drawings.

field picture translates to hand made drawing more or less.
some will say it's used for only rough drawings and some say it's for the production drawing,I have heard both ways and in a way they both are right.
Here is a link to a dealer that makes repro cels,You can read for yourself about how they get the rights to make them from the studios,-
