The piece mockingly exposes the impractical scheme and its pretensions.

Fakes in Colors and the Auction Scam Tale
A traveling painter reveals how fake oil landscapes sold at auctions fool buyers. He painted tiny 2 by 3 foot scenes on muslin for 12 cents, added gilt frames, and marketed them as masterpieces to fetch 5 to 50 dollars. Similar shells with landscape scenes became a quick two hundred-plus dollars in three months before price cuts ended the gimmick.
