Figure

Description

I purchased this work when I was in China in 2005. I had it framed here in Melbourne, in 2006, at Mahoneys Framing by Master Framer Greg Mahoney using museum non-reflective glass. It has a certificate attached to it stating that it is the work of Ding Xiao Guang. It is more interesting because it is a very close replica of a work by a noted Chinese artist Ding Shaoguang. I have documentation, which is available to see, showing that it is a blatant copy and an example of the lack of ethics in parts of the art world.
