Fakes, fakes everywhere? (ctd.)

Picture: Loovre
A source at the Louvre has sent me the first results from their analysis of the Cranach seized by a French court. The picture, which was bought recently by the Prince of Liechtenstein for €7m, has been beset by allegations of forgery, and had been sent to the Louvre by a judge for scientific testing. My source says:
We took a new multi-spectral x-ray with our patented Lumiere-o-scope, and the results are quite remarkable. They prove for the first time that Cranach had a sense of humour.
Bof.
