DALLAS, TEXAS.- A high court decided against Texan art collector Richard Drake, reported The Guardian. Drake claimed from Thomas Agnew and Sons art dealers the money he paid for a copy of a Van Dyck portrait. Drake paid around $2.12 million dollars for the work thinking it was genuine. The work of art is a half length portrait of James Stuart, Duke of Lennox and Richmond. Mr Justice Buckley stated: "I have some sympathy for Mr Drake's straightforward view that despite Mr Callan's strange part in all this, he considers he was sold a Van Dyck. However, Mr Drake's perception of the sale was the one Mr Callan dishonestly gave him. There never was any guarantee; there never was an undertaking that if there were any problems with the painting Agnew's would take it back."
