Sotheby's declares ₹72 crore painting fake
Sotheby's has declared a painting sold for $10.8 million (approximately ₹72 crore) and considered a work by Dutch artist Frans Hals as a fake. It said it had "reimbursed the client" following tests which proved 'An Unknown Man' was forged. The person behind the forgery is also suspected to be responsible for a work attributed to Italian painter Orazio Gentileschi.
