There was an authentic one of these in the famous Halper Auction. At least I hope it was authentic, based on what the winning bidder paid, and the fact that it was sold by Sotheby's.

I believe this fake example was copied from that very piece, as it also had a condition flaw in the lower left corner (water damage or something similar). When this fake was photocopied, they probably tried to mask this by adding the look of wear and tear to this area....
