A work thought to be by Dutch artist Frans Hals that sold for a reported £8.5m ($10.8m) has been declared fake.

Sotheby's said it had "rescinded the sale and reimbursed the client in full" after tests revealed the painting, An Unknown Man, was "undoubtedly" forged.

The investigation followed reports that a sophisticated forger is at large.

The forger is also believed responsible for a painting attributed to Italian master Orazio Gentileschi that was loaned to the National Gallery.

The painting, David Contemplating the Head of Goliath, was loaned to the gallery by its current owner in 2013 and was on display until March this year. It has since been returned.

The National Gallery said it "undertakes due diligence research on a work coming on loan as well as a condition check", and that these were carried out on the painting.

"In the time the painting was at the National Gallery we had no obvious reasons to doubt that David with the Head of Goliath was a work by Gentileschi."

'Modern materials'

Another disputed work, attributed to Renaissance artist Lucas Cranach the Elder, was seized by authorities in France in March after doubts were raised about its authenticity.

The work had been loaned to an exhibition in Aix-en-Provence by Hans-Adam II, the reigning Prince of Liechtenstein.

According to The Art Newspaper, the work came on to the market in 2012 and was sold "in good faith" to the prince in 2013.

Analysis by BBC arts editor Will Gompertz

Page one of any decent guide to the business of acquiring artworks should spell out in bold letters, BUYER BEWARE.

Unless you have bought the painting or sculpture directly from the studio of a living artist, you are running the risk of buying a fake.

On the plus side, science is increasingly playing a part in authenticating artworks - but then a top notch forger tends to find ways to stay ahead of the game.

Provenance is all. If you want to reduce the odds of purchasing a fake, then you need the paperwork that details all past owners and what they have done to conserve the piece.

The more gaps in an artwork's "backstory", the greater the opportunity for Mr Dodgy to get to work. In the parlance of the motor trade, you really need to see a full service history.

Fakes are far more common than many in the art world would admit in public. Uncertainty is rarely good for business. But then just look at the success of shows like Fake or Fortune, which appear to have an endless supply of tales to tell.

Sotheby's said that "with the agreement of the seller" of the work thought to have been by Hals, which was sold in 2011, it had "informed the buyer of a possible issue with the authenticity of the painting".

It subjected the Hals painting to "an in-depth technical analysis" after links emerged between it and the Cranach.

Sotheby's said the tests "showed the presence of modern materials used in the painting in a way that meant it could not have been painted in the 17th Century".

'Best faker of all time'

Speaking on Radio 4's World at One, art historian Bendor Grosvenor called the case "extraordinary".

"What is amazing about [the painting] is the quality and the fact that it's not a copy," he said.

"Whoever has subsumed the aura of Hals when he painted this also came up with a totally fresh composition.

"If these [paintings] are fake, and I believe they are very likely to be, we are dealing with the best faker of all time."

GREENVILLE, Pitt County - ECU's head coach, Scottie Montgomery, announced Nhyre Quinerly was dismissed from the team after he was arrested Wednesday afternoon.

According to the Greenville Police Departments Public Information Officer Kristen Hunter, Quinerly was charged with larceny of a motor vehicle, possession of a stolen vehicle and larceny of motor vehicle parts.

Hunter said that on Wednesday, a stolen vehicle was located at Anderson and Sons Towing Company. Hunter said the car's tags were switched out with different plates that were also stolen. Hunter said Quinerly called the towing company saying the car belonged to him. An investigation revealed Quinerly did not own the car. He was arrested Wednesday afternoon and booked in the Pitt County Detention Center.

Quinerly was a redshirt freshman of the Pirate football program. Montgomery said the team dismissed him for disciplinary reasons.

"One of our top priorities is to promote responsible citizenship in our community and I emphasize those directives on a continual basis," Montgomery said. "While this behavior is contrary to the progress we've made, I think how we respond to issues such as this will say more about our program than the actions of an individual who chose not to act in a responsible manner."

Quinerly did not play in 2015 as a redshirt, but had participated in all five games this season as a member of the Pirates' special teams squad.

CHANDLER, Ariz. - Chandler police said they arrested a man for arson who was previously interviewed by 12 News for a story about a serial arsonist.

Thomas S. Leeper, 31, was arrested Thursday morning for allegedly starting four of the eight arson fires being investigated in his neighorhood.

Police say he is an "investigative lead" in the other four arsons.

The day before the latest fire Leeper is accused of setting, Leeper came to a community meeting held by Chandler police to address fears of a serial arsonist.

PREVIOUSLY: Chandler police investigating string of fires

Leeper cried while being interviewed, telling 12 News that he feared for the safety of his children after finding another neighbor's home burning late at night.

Leeper had also called 12 News to ask for coverage of the serial arson case.

According to court documents, Leeper confessed to two of the fires.

He told police he started one in his nextdoor neighbor's backyard by filling a syringe with gasoline and soaking a mop with it, before lighting it on fire. That fire charred the outside wall of a child's bedroom.

Investigators believe he then waited for fire crews to leave before writing, "FIND ME" on his own wall. He later told police and 12 News he believed the "arsonist" was targeting him because he had spoken out.

Leeper also apparently confessed to another fire, saying he couldn't fight the urge to start a fire and lit some leaves on fire with a lighter. That fire then spread to a fence and backyard.

No one was injured in any of the fires.

Court documents show Leeper also told investigators he had uncontrollable urges to start fires. Chandler Police said he had also spent time in a treatment center for fire starters as a child.
