Few Museum Visitors Spot Fake Fragonard Painting

The UK's Dulwich Picture Gallery has revealed the identity of a "fake" painting hung in the museum for a "spot-the-fake" challenge.
Just ten percent of 3,000 museum visitors polled correctly identified the replica picture, placed amongst 270 artworks on display.
Jean-Honore Fragonard's "Young Woman" had been replaced by a $120 counterfeit, produced in China, and it hung in the gallery since February. The museum is now shoing the works side-by-side.
