Oil on canvas, stormy seas, signed "A. Nordgren", 37x58 cm. On the back of the canvas, the part that is above the top of the stent, which is named "Rotsakowski" signed. Technical survey conducted at the National Laboratory of Forensic Science with infrared light. It shows the remains of an old signature and that a new signature has been painted later. Axel Nordegren painted in Düsseldorf Style and signed very clearly. 1870 he began to paint realistically. This painting is, however, a diffuse painting in the romantic style and are not nearly Axel Nordegren's school. It is more like an English painting. The painting is a mediocre work of a talented amateur. The District Court's assessment: The painting is by recoating and after new signing become a counterfeit.

Oil on canvas, landscape in moonlight. signed "A.Nordgren", 36x54 cm. Lower right corner is processed. It may be a later retouching or grinding in order to hide anything. Technical examination shows that the signature in the lower left corner has been painted later. The red color has drained down into the older crazing ring. Neither this painting is the work of Axel Nordgren, it is too amateurish painted and does not have the quality that Nordegren paintings exhibit. The District Court's assessment: The painting is not painted by Axel Nordgren. It is also not signed by him. It is a forgery.
