Whistler painted the picture i posted an image of in 1903.
So in the same year Dorothy Seton then painted the hand holding the apple, upside down, with the same strands of hair visible?!!
" Dorothy Seton - A Daughter Of Eve ". in quote marks suggests whoever wrote that is giving the title of the piece this was based on, not who it was painted by. They then wrote " after Master James A McNeil Whistler ".
The writing after this is possibly a signature.
Each to their own but that wasn't painted by Seton or Whistler. The price is neither here not there. Just someone taking a punt or someone who doesn't know art hoping it's an original.
Yesterday on tv i watched an expert on Antiques Road Trip ( two experts competing against each other to buy and sell for profit ) buy a repro skulls head mount ( sometimes used by bikers, SS etc ) and then buy a walking stick. He attached the two items together and made sure the skulls head stuck by using cellotape / sticky back plastic.
It cost him about £50 altogether. It sold at auction for £200 because the buyer thought it was a genuine piece. Personally, i thought it was a terrible thing to do, even though the money goes to charity, because it showed an expert trying to con the public.
