The gallery curator notes
these chief differences
between the Fragonard
and the uncredited duplicate
from Meisheng Oil Painting Manufacture Company:
“The original is almost what
a magician would paint,”
said Bray. “You look at this (the fake).
It's industrial
and the expression
is empty.”1
Jean-Honoré Fragonard (French, 1732–1806)
Young Woman, c. 1769
Oil on canvas
