Last spring in London,
a fake Chinese replica
of Fragonard’s
“Young Woman”,
whoever she was,
was hung
as a publicity stunt
by the Dulwich Picture Gallery.

She was not recognized.

Visitors were invited
to “Spot the Fake”
and many came but
did not do so
successfully.
People mistook
“Portrait of a Lady”
[the other one,
by Peter Paul Rubens]
for the counterfeit.

Sir Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577–1640)

Portrait of a Lady, c. 1625
Oil on panel

Collection of Dulwich Picture Gallery
