Signature proven counterfeit
Oil on wood, 35x25 cm, signed "Renoir". The painting is covered with thick varnish. The signature is located midway through the varnish. It is therefore signed afterwards. Renoir often painted children in the countryside. The painting is clumsily painted. It is sticky, heavy and awkwardly performed. It is not painted by Renoir. The district court's assessment: The painting is signed after the event in order to mislead the market by mimicking Renoir. It has thus been made to a forgery.
