Update 2.0, the last major free update for the popular game, introduced tons of new features, including a big overhaul of Harv’s island that allows players to help villagers set up shops. Among these villagers is Redd, who sells furniture and art in his new shop.

Among the artwork he sells is the Moving painting. Here’s how to tell if it is real or fake.

Moving Painting Real vs. Fake in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The Moving painting, unlike other paintings like the Flowery and Warm painting, can be fake, so you will need to be careful when Redd has it for sale, since you may end up wasting money on a fake.

The real Moving painting is the one showcased in the image above. The fake one features a pretty major difference in the upper right corner, as it lacks the wooded area of the original. Make sure to zoom on the painting in Redd’s Trawler, as the darkness can make it difficult to spot the difference between the real and the fake.

The Moving painting is Sandro Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, one of the most famous paintings by the Italian artist. It depicts the birth of the goddess Venus, who was said to be born from sea foam.
