I’d like to purchase a handmade replica as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. A “handmade, museum-quality reproduction” painting sounds a little bit too good to be true, so I’m worried this might be a scam.

    “Legal” is also a bit fuzzy. Some countries frown upon copying an artist’s work, but that’s going to be a question for the manufacturer. Owning a reproduction is not illegal as long as you don’t try to commit fraud with it (i.e. hanging it in a gallery or selling it).
