Gee, say, I'm confused

I have a beautiful print that someone painstakingly went over with a clear gel or some medium, to put in brush strokes. I was told this process is called "Gilcee", however, I see that many people call Gilcee's prints done with a fantastic ink through a printer. I'm downright confused! What is the process called when stokes are added? If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to ask in tandem, did the artists themselves ever participate in this over-painting, for lack of a better term? Because the strokes are magnificent on my George Phippen. Many regards to anyone willing to task themselves with this inquiry.

The term 'Gilcee' describes any high quality ink-jet print. The word originates from French.
I'm sure the strokes on your print weren't made by George Phippen since he died 45 years ago.

Thank you Jade, I'm the OP. Just wanted to add this print is very old. Easily 60 years old. I have a lot of old reproductions, and I just was confused. Thanks!
