I had to keep flicking (for some time) between the ‘fake’ and the link to the real copy. After a while, I started to notice a real difference in the colour of that red jacket. Pigmentation of older paints perhaps? I am no expert, of course.

Wonder if they’ll ever find out who did paint it?

It’s now being realised that so many major works of art owned by reputable organisations/museums etc. are fake…..I forget which one it was…but another major work has just been uncovered which fooled all the experts…..Those fakers are very clever:) xx

I wonder whether it’s a modern fake or something contemporaneous. Whichever, it is an excellent work. The artist should be or have been honest and taken credit for his work. He would no doubt have got commissions.

Sad to see so much of this happening. I just read an article about another situation over here in the States. The “Fakers” are really good, but what a shame.
