CRITICS’ CHOICE
PHILIP MOULD has a personal
stake in tonight’s case, an
18th-century family portrait of
a young man in the prime of his
life, as it was he who spotted the
painting they are investigating
— it was hanging in a house he
was visiting. The owners
believed it was
painted by ground-breaking
female artist Maria Cosway,
but Philip was convinced that
it was actually the work of the
Regency portrait-painting great
Thomas Lawrence — and worth
half a million pounds. While
Philip digs into the technical
side of the painting, Fiona Bruce
(pictured with Mould) unpicks
its history, tracing its path
down through the centuries into
the hands of the current owners.

Britain’s Giant Pet
Food Factory, 9pm, Ch4
THE Mars company may be famous
