Gallery Fake

Muse Courtroom (1x4)

Udgivelsesdato: Jan 29, 2005

Fujita is arrested on suspicion of selling a fake Albrecht Dürer painting as real and so Mitamura is called as an expert witness and appraiser by the police. Although initially she believes the painting is a fake, a greeting card from Fujita with a copy of Kouhaku Hasegawa's ink painting "Shourinzu Byoubu" causes her to conduct further investigation and analysis. Finally, in court, she appraises the painting as a genuine Dürer, but possibly unfinished and signed with his unique monogram later after it was varnished. Fujita later meets Mitamura at Tokyo National Museum before the original six-panel painting of "Shourinzu Byoubu" and thanks her, although she still threatens to expose him as a charlatan.
