Anonymous In the sentence: ‘A prodigious, convincing work, conceived on a grand scale’ It's not a sentence. Anonymous are the subject and verb both implied… That may be one way of looking at it. At least the addition of "It is" at the beginning turns a sentence fragment into a sentence.

It's not a sentence. What's implied depends on the context. Your inference isn't unreasonable.

"Conceived on a grand scale" modifies the noun "work," telling you about the work's origin. So it's adjectival.
