Fake or Fortune: Season 4, Episode 2 – Renoir

Nicky Philipps, a portrait artist renowned for her pictures of the royal family, has asked the Fake or Fortune team to investigate a painting which hangs on the walls of Picton Castle, once the Philipps family seat.

The work was bought in the 1930s by Nicky’s great-grandfather, Sir Laurence Philipps, who believed it to be by celebrated impressionist Pierre Auguste Renoir.

But the painting has been dogged by doubt for half a century, and two art world authorities can’t agree whether it’s genuine or fake.
