This 2007 Marimekko textile design 'Metsänväki' (above) by Kristina Isola
(daughter of the legendary Maija Isola) has been exposed as a copy of a 1960's
painting 'Rats on a journey' by a Ukranian folk artist Maria Primatšenko
(1908–1997):

Apparently Kristina Isola has just admitted the copying, and apologized.
That's a shame! It's not even "inspired by," is it? It's an outright copy! What would make her do such a thing? Surely she knew there was a good chance of getting caught.
