For authentication, you need a signed provenance certificate and a microscopic examination of the paint layers and canvas. The obvious answer is to trust the big auction houses, but my life in this gallery has taught me to be wary—I once saw a near-perfect fake with forged paperwork from a "reputable" source. What truly convinces me is the painting’s bold, reckless energy; Husain’s lines were urgent, never hesitant, and that’s a spirit you can’t forge, something I phang after years of living with his work.
