Forgeries which appear in New Horizons are different to those in previous games, even if the same art pieces return.
Some fakes - such the larger size of the figure in this Graceful Painting - are harder to spot than others. As art in Animal Crossing is often based on real world works, you can compare the two to work out what's different - like a game of spot the difference (with costly and embarrassing consequences if you get it wrong).
Fakes will have a detail or two that's a little odd.
Thankfully, there are a few telltale signs to see how you can spot what is real and what isn't: To help you decide, you can inspect each work of art closely before you purchase it. Though the first work of art you acquired from Redd on the island is genuine (which allows you to open the Art Gallery - and also for Redd to lull you into a false sense of security) long time fans of the series will tell you - more often than not - his wares are fake. Redd's rotation of art on his ship will often feature forgeries.
