Fake or Fortune?
Helen McNicoll
Season 12 Episode 2 of 4
Helen McNicoll was one of Canada's most celebrated female artists of the early 20th century. Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a picturesque outdoor scene of women in a field sold at auction in England in the artist's style. The picture was bought at auction by artist and small-time art dealer David Taylor for £2,000, but it could be worth more than £300,000 if truly painted by McNicoll - can the team help prove it's the real thing?
Fake or Fortune? airs on BBC Two Wales at 2:10 AM, Saturday 4 January. (Subtitles, repeat, sign language, audio description.)
