Social media users have been claiming the works of Joseph Turner and Vincent van Gogh to be that of their own children’s after the Telegraph published Boris Johnson’s son knocking out a suspiciously accurate depiction of a reindeer.
Seven month-old Wilfred was said to have shown a “flair for art” after he showcased his Christmas creations for charity, with his “hand-painted” image of a reindeer being sent to an 89-year-old suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
The piece reads:
“A photograph captured Wilfred at work, sporting long blonde locks and diligently shaping reindeer antlers with his paint-covered hands.”
People have been quick to question the accuracy of the piece, which was published without a byline such was its brazenly propagandistic tone.
