The seller:
You are placing your bid on a Vintage Collectable Painting by Edouard Manet.

artfakes.dk:
No, you are NOT. You are bidding on a forgery hardly worth the shipping cost

The seller:
This is a reproduction of the famous painting by Frans Hals named “The Laughing Cavalier”.

artfakes.dk:
If this is a painting, what we do not at all feel sure about (could possibly be an oleograph), it's certainly NOT painted by Edouard Manet.

The seller:
We don’t have a certificate of authenticity of this painting.

artfakes.dk:
Of course you don’t. But you can probably get it from your stepfather or from your mother in law.
Or, maybe even better, from Mr. Eric I. Spoutz himself. He is the leading expert on forgeries

The seller:
We cannot guarantee if this piece of art is original...

artfakes.dk:
You dirty man! Demanding $75.000 without a guarantee makes you a trickster, just a bit of filth under my shoe.

The seller:
Mondrian wanted the infinite, and shape is finite. A straight line is infinitely extendable, and the open-ended space between two parallel straight lines is infinitely extendable. A Mondrian abstract is the most compact imaginable pictorial harmony.

artfakes.dk:
Correct!
But this watercolor isn't painted by Mondrian.

artfakes.dk:
Egon Schiele did not paint this picture. The very same guy, who painted all the other falsifications offered at eBay by Mr. Eric I. Spoutz from Detroit, did it. This is surely his brushstrokes.
