An American colleague drew my attention to yet another gem found in a publication that has been making the world laugh since its release in 2003. Here is a painting featured in the “catalogue raisonné”.

One would therefore expect the work to be authentic. Although with this publication, you can’t be sure of anything.
That’s not to mention the author’s imagination, who specifies that the painting is likely not by Théo Van Rysselberghe but by another amateur artist whose name he, incidentally, misspells. But why, then, include it in the catalogue raisonné? Which, in the end, is “raisonné” in name only.
