Jolly painting

The Jolly Painting is a painting introduced in Animal Crossing: City Folk. It is based upon Giuseppe Arcimboldo's Summer, a portrait composed of fruits and vegetables painted with oil on canvas. In real life, this painting is part of a series called the Four Seasons. The other members of the series are named after the other three seasons, with each one depicting fruits and vegetables that can be harvested or matured during that season.

Authenticity

In New Leaf, if the nose is made of a carrot and has green leaves hanging down, it is fake. If the nose is made of a green vegetable, it's genuine.

In New Horizons, the painting has multiple forgeries. If the flower in its torso is missing or its pea pod "mouth" is curved into a frown, it is fake. If there is a yellow flower in its torso and its pea pod "mouth" is smiling, it is genuine.

Museum exhibit description

"Arcimboldo's style was to paint a face as if it were assembled from a bunch of fruits and vegetables."

— Museum Exhibit, Animal Crossing: New Leaf

"A curious portrait by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, an Italian painter from the late 16th century. It doesn't take a particularly sharp eye to see that the entire portrait is composed of fresh produce."

— Museum Exhibit, Animal Crossing: New Horizons
