Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a picturesque outdoor scene of women in a field sold at auction in England in the ‘style of’ Helen McNicoll, one of Canada’s most important impressionist painters. The picture was bought at auction for £2,000, but it could be worth more than £300,000, if genuine. Scientific analysis reveals matching canvas weaves and pigment, strengthening the case.
