The question is vague but here goes. A trained eye will always be able to easily spot original work from a copy.

If you're speaking about content however, you're pretty much out of luck unless you have documentation of some sort.

If you're speaking about art you own which was made by another artist, there are professionals with tons of knowledge on the subject which you'd be hard press to research on your own.

Can two different characters in the same town obtain the same original painting in Animal Crossing City Folk?

Sometimes there will be two original paintings. I've gotten it before. Just be careful, sometimes when you think the painting is original, it can be a forgery. Both Tom Nook (if you try to sell it, he won't buy it or give you only 10 Bells) and Blathers (will tell you it's a forgery when you try to donate it) can tell you if it's forged. If Blathers tells you, the name will be "forged painting" after you try to donate it.
