Possible Rembrandt Fakes: The British Museum in London has called into question 24 drawings from its celebrated Rembrandt collection, saying they may not have been done by the master, a London newspaper reported Sunday. The conclusion by the museum, which has the world’s largest collection of drawings by the Dutch painter and etcher, is expected to touch off a major dispute among art scholars. The suspect drawings, nearly a quarter of the museum’s collection, are now being attributed to Rembrandt’s pupils or followers. The museum decided to re-evaluate the drawings as it prepares for a major 1992 Rembrandt exhibition.
