Nicholson

Can the team prove that a beautiful still life of a glass jug and pears is the work of celebrated British artist William Nicholson? Viewer Lyn asked for help because her painting was rejected by the leading authority on William Nicholson and was left out of the artist's latest catalogue raisonnee. Lyn bought the paining in 2006 for £165,000, believing it to be a genuine Nicholson, but now it's worth practically nothing. However, this damning ruling has divided art world opinion. Can Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould uncover enough new evidence to convince sceptics that this is a genuine Nicholson?
