Oil on canvas, Composition with nude woman and animals, signed "Corneille 95" 55x40 cm. Ostensibly depicting a genuine painting by The Dutch artist Corneille Van Beverloo. The painting was taken in pledge for a loan of a gallery in a small town just north of Stockholm. The gallery began to suspect that the painting was not genuine and summoned the police who took the painting seized for further investigation. Documentation was sent to experts in Corneille Van Beverloo's painting. The painting was immediately condemned as a bad forgery. The prosecutor did not consider it proven that the gallery owner would have done the painting nor tried to sell it for fraudulent purposes why the painting was returned to the Gallery without action. The prosecution closed the file. Warning! The painting is thus the market with original forged signature! There is a risk that it once again becomes available for sale.
