Authenticity

In New Leaf, if the woman is looking to the left instead of the right, the painting is a forgery.

In New Horizons, if the woman is missing her collar and fills up the whole frame, the painting is a forgery. The woman in the forgery changes directions and the painting has shadowy figure on the back.
