In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are loads of items that you will be able to collect while journeying across the Forgotten Realms. However, you might not find out if they are useful or not immediately after gathering or purchasing them. And since many items are considered to be important for certain quests, you can’t drop them out of your inventory either.
One such item that you will come across is the Fake Portrait of a Noble Before his Death in Baldur’s Gate 3. Since it’s sold by the infamous painter Oskar Fevras, whom you will first interact with during Act 1, you might consider the portrait as one of the quest-related items. Although, you will soon find out that it’s far from it. So if you are wondering what to do with it, then here is everything you need to know.
How to Use the Fake Portrait of a Noble Before His Death in Baldur’s Gate 3?
The Fake Portrait of a Noble Before His Death in Baldur’s Gate 3 is one of the many miscellaneous items that you will stumble upon on your journey. It has nothing to do with any quest that you will come across during the course of your travels across the Forgotten Realms.
However, it is one of the counterfeit pieces of art that you will find Oskar Fevras selling during the third act of Baldur’s Gate 3, more accurately in the Lower City. You will be able to purchase the portrait only if you decide to not free Oskar from Brem at the Zhentarim Hideout in act one. Not freeing him will change the course of his journey, and during Act 3 you will find him selling counterfeit pieces of art.
That said, it is also one of the legendary items that players can get their hands on. Since the portrait has no use, you can consider it a decoration set and place it in your camp in the game.
With that being said, you can choose whether to purchase the counterfeit pieces or not in the game. We would suggest you use it for bartering or sale to traders if you don’t need it clogging your inventory or as a decoration set.
