Jean SKOGLUND
1908–1948, Sweden

Signature proven counterfeit
Verdict of guilty
PHM Nr. 13
Oil painting on panel, 36x50 cm, signed Jean Skoglund. The motif is taken from Dalarna in Sweden, and painted in romantic style. It is a copy after Hilding Per Jons. The original signature has been painted over and then signed again with Jean Skoglund. At the technical inspection with infrared light emerges an underlying signature "Per Jons -45 KOP." The painting was painted around 1930 and 1950. The district court's assessment: The painting has a new signature and is therefore a forgery.
