Incognito is a 1997 American crime thriller film directed by John Badham and starring Jason Patric and Irene Jacob.

The film is notable for a sequence that reveals the specific details involved in forgery, including canvas aging, precise paints, and other deceptions.

Frustrated by the cancellation of an exhibition of his paintings, Harry accepts a job forging a long lost Rembrandt for $550,000 from three art dealer clients—Alistair Davies, Ian Hill, and Agachi—against the wishes of his artist father who wants his son to give up forgery and concentrate on his own work.

He decides to forge a never-discovered portrait of the master's blind father lost supposedly off the coast of Spain over 350 years ago.

Harry continues his research in Paris, where he meets a beautiful Rembrandt scholar, Professor Marieke van den Broeck, who tells him she is a "student".

Dismayed to learn that his clients plan to hold a public auction, Harry tries to take back his painting but Davies pulls a modified Beretta handgun on him.

Forced to flee the train by the pursuing police, they make their way through the English countryside, eventually splitting up before Harry is finally arrested while attempting to destroy his forgery at Mentmore Towers.
