Winslow 91热爆r: Children Under A Palm
Fisherman Tony couldn't believe his luck when he stumbled upon a pile of pictures apparently dumped at his favourite riverside spot. Fast forward 15 years and Tony, accompanied by his daughter, visits an Antiques Roadshow where he is told by Philip Mould that one of the pictures is worth 拢30,000. It's an unknown work by one of America's most important 19th century artists, Winslow 91热爆r. But how did it end up being dumped in such an unlikely place and who legally owns the picture?聽
As Philip Mould and Fiona Bruce investigate, the story takes a series of
unexpected turns; in the Bahamas we crack when and why the painting was made
and who the mysterious sitters are, whilst in New York an auction house values
the picture closer to $250,000 in preparation for sale. But a tense denouement
within minutes of the auction turns everything upside down when a mysterious
figure arrives and raises even bigger questions for all involved.
