Konrads UBANS
1893–1981, Latvia

Oil on canvas, scene with woman sitting in the park landscape, signed "Ubans", size 46x38 cm. The painting was sold through an online auction house in Stockholm, Sweden in September 2012 for 6,000 SEK (about 650 euros). The buyer contacted the auction house and returned the painting after he had been in touch with experts who argued that the painting is probably a forgery. It was withdrawn by the auction house and handed over to police for investigation where it turned out that it was a forgery.
