The Zubarren hung In a convent at Natchitoches. La., for more than 100 years.

In addi tion to the signature, Marshall said a comparison of brush work, tech nique and pigment proved the can vas a Zubarren.

"The number of paintings bought and sold as Rembrandt, for in stance, have been six or ten times as many aa the artist could have painted," he said. "Yet for all these, there was the word of some ex pert to say It was genuine. Now, when experts disagree, chemical tests and photographs settle the dispute."
