[QUOTE="samuelcaulfield1, post: 411527, member: 6212"]I appreciate the help guys. Yes there is a lot of suspicious things about the COA (the I instead of 1, the fact it says Singapore, the fact the print is not on arches paper, etc). The only encouraging things are that I am pretty certain the frame had not been opened previous to my finding the painting, and that it would be a pretty elaborate fake. Also the frame seems very characteristic of the frames he typically used. They have the lithograph listed on Blanco’s official website. I suppose it’s possible someone bought the lithograph from the museum (not sure how much this might have cost) and manipulated the COA to make it seem like it was signed, limited edition, and on arches paper etc..?? Any suggestions as to who I could take it to in London who might be able to authenticate it? Sam[ATTACH=full]143356[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
