    Jolly Redd, the Fox who visits your island in his shady-looking treasure trawler brings some art and paintings to sell to you. While some of it may be real, a lot of it is counterfeit. This guide has the list of all the fake paintings and art in ACNH – those that are not listed here only have genuine versions.

    When you decide to buy a painting from Redd, you must take care that it is authentic art for sure. If it turns out to be fake, Blathers will not accept it for his Museum, so beware! To know how you can invite Redd and start buying paintings from him, check out our guide on how to unlock Redd’s treasure trawler. Now, without much ado, let’s find out how to tell fake art from real ones in our Animal Crossing New Horizons (ACNH) Art Guide.

    Real vs Fake Painting & Art in ACNH with Pictures Comparison

    Luckily, the paintings that Redd brings to your island are real-life masterpieces so we, at least, have something to compare it with before we purchase. Redd will give you four options of paintings to choose from, out of which you can pick only one. Your goal at this point is to check which one is a legitimate painting and which ones are fake. There’s a chance that all four paintings will be inauthentic, so look closely. In this guide, you will find all the hints you need to spot fake paintings.
