Signature proven counterfeit
Oljemålning på duk, bonde plöjer åker, signerad "C Wilhelmson". Skenbart föreställande en äkta målning utförd av konstnären Carl Wilhelmson. Målningen ingår i ett av de många bedrägerifall som polisen tog i beslag i början av 2000-talet i södra Sverige. Efter expertutredning och dom förklarades att målningen inte är äkta. Det är en förfalskning..
