Action Comics #68
Zatara is helping to sell War Bonds at the City Art Museum rally. Afterwards, he notices something phony about Gainsborough's painting of The Blue Boy. Using magic, he gets the blue boy to tell that he is just a copy of the original. He then spots a pair of suspicious-looking characters with a swag sack, and has the original blue boy inside the sack tell of his pedigree. Many other paintings are also forgeries, and the characters tell Zatara the forger's name was Arton. They attack Arton in his own home, and the original paintings are restored to the museum.
