520			_aDepending on the final judgement, the case "Drake v Agnew's" could change the rules and conventions on attribution in UK art sales. Texan millionaire art collector Richard Drake bought a portrait from Agnew's believing it to be by Van Dyck but later doubt was thrown onto its provenance. Drake claims that Agnew's had a contract to guarantee the authorship of the work. Given that many leading artists only painted the important parts of a painting attributed to them, a ruling in favour of Drake could create a precedent preventing those dealing in art from attributing even masterpieces directly to their artists.
