Julius KRONBERG
1850–1921, Sweden
Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on canvas, 102x61 cm, signed "Julius Kronberg -75". Lower left corner is signed Julius Kronberg. The entire area around the signature looks suspicious, as if one were painted over an earlier signature before Julius Kronbergs signatures were attached. This is a copy painted in 1900-1930. It is pretty bad and not painted by Kronberg. Estbjörn Kronberg, of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce appointed surveyor of art and antiques, has stated that he studied painting and Julius Kronberg not painted a painting with this design in 1875, and that the painting is not done by him. The District Court's assessment: The painting is a forgery.
