Per EKSTRÖM
1844–1935, Sweden
Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on canvas, landscape with sunset, signed "P.Ekström", 30x39 cm. Technical examination shows that there is a worked area in the lower left corner. The signature has been applied on top of the varnish, then it has been varnished again on top of the forged signature. This is no typical Ekstrom-painting. It is awkwardly constructed and have nothing of Ekström's colors and perspective. There is a painting done by an amateur and not a work of Per Ekström. The district court's assessment: The painting is painted by Per Ekstrom, nor signed by him. It is a forgery and shall be forfeited.
