Carl Fredrik KIÖRBOE
1799–1876, Denmark/France/Sweden

Oil on canvas, scene with a dog. signed "C.Kjörboe", 27x44 cm. The painting is part of a large seizure of the 1980s. Technical examination by UV light shows an area in the lower left corner, which is corrected later than the painting's creation. The signature is applied on top of the painting, rather superficial. Kjörboe is a very famous and skilful animal painter who painted extremely detailed, even the hairs of animals' fur is apparent in his paintings. This painting was painted around 1900 by a mediocre painter, and not by Carl Fredrik Kjörboe. The district court's assessment: The painting is not done by Kjörboe nor signed by him. It is a forgery.
