Animal Crossing: New Horizons recently received its 1.2.0 update which introduces many old faces from previous Animal Crossing titles. One of these returning faces is Redd, a fox known for his shady business practices and products. He is also known for his shaky history with Tom Nook.
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Redd sells various works of art from his boat on the island's northern beach during the days he's visiting. However, not all of the art he's selling is legitimate. Works of forgery cannot be donated to the museum and can only be displayed elsewhere. While some players may like the false versions of these works of art, players wanting to fill out the new section of the museum will want to focus on getting only real pieces at first.
Every work of art in Animal Crossing: New Horizons has a real-life counterpart. All the forgery differences can be visually seen on the works of art, but if players don't know the real names of the works to look up, they might be in some trouble. Here are the real paintings, what they are called in-game, and the difference between the real and fake.
