Oil on canvas, 39x50 cm, signed J Krouthén. On the back there is another motive (cityscape). The painting and signing are contemporary. It is made of plywood, a material that came into use around 1930th Krouthén belonged to the Skagen school and worked with lights and highlights. The painting is the work of a talented amateur who tried to emulate Krouthén outdoor realism, but it is very roughly made. Krouthén painted softer and freer. The District Court's assessment: The painting is an original forgery and not signed by Johan Krouthén.

Genuine counterfeiting. Oil on canvas laid on masonite, 80x35 cm, signed John Krouthén. This is a genuine forgery painted and signed in order to fool the market as being genuine. There have been no changes to the painting. It is very roughly painted and completely foreign to John Krouthén's paintings, who worked with fine shades of color. The signature is more thicker than Krouthén,'s way of signing. The District Court's assessment: The painting has been painted as an original forgery in an attempt to deceive the market.
