Dimensions
In a paragraph about a painting: the dimensions of the picture are given, and then slightly different dimensions are given in brackets, accompanied by the phrase ' в эталонном списке'. References for this on the Internet generally refer to matters in the socio-political field, and seem to mean a 'typing' of certain categories.
In my context it looks more like a list of standard sizes (i.e. dimensions are given to the nearest standard size), but as the actual dimensions are 50 x 50, and dimensions 'в эталонном списке' are 53 x 50, this seems odd.
Can anyone throw any light on this?
Thank you in advance for any ideas.

standard list
I think it's about authenticity of provenance. I assume that for this particular artist the typical size of such paintings was 53x50, i.e. slightly different from the painting in question. Certain works are selected as 'standard' (эталон) for the artist, and all doubtful paintings are compared with this standard
