Oljemålning på duk, porträtt av en ung kvinna, signerad "I. Repin" med kyrilliska bokstäver. Skenbart föreställande en äkta målning utförd av den Ryska konstnären Ilya Efimovich Repin. Målningen ingår i ett av de många bedrägerifall som polisen tog i beslag under slutet av 1990-talet och början av 2000-talet i Danmark. Efter expertutredning och dom förklarades att denna målning inte var äkta. Det var en förfalskning.
