1817–1901, Switzerland/Sweden
Also known as: FVD, FD
Verdict of guilty
PHM Nr. 24/115
Oil on canvasriding military, 77x61 cm, signed "Fritz von Dadel" 1901. The motif is probably taken from some other unknown works. When examined by ultraviolet and infrared light sees no changes. This is a clumsy and gentle copy of an equestrian image. Dardel died in 1901. The signature is supposed to be his, but it has been misspelled. The District Court's assessment: The painting is a forgery.
