Elvira is an abstract painter with incredible talent but little fame. One of her paintings, entitled Blue Lady 13, is a work of intense power and sensuality. In 1990, she sold it to Mega Company for display in the main public entrance of the business’s new headquarters building.

Several art critics attending the opening of the building mistook the painting for a long-lost work of Pablo Picasso. They wrote about it in their newspaper columns as though they had made a great discovery.

When people began flooding into the Mega Building to see Blue Lady 13, the directors of Mega were delighted. They even went so far as to put up a sign that said: “This painting, entitled La Dama Azul, was probably painted by Pablo Picasso during his blue period, ca. 1913.”

Is there anything that Elvira can do? Explain.
