A painting which has hung in a hallway at a care home for decades could be worth thousands, according to experts.
The painting at St Teresa’s Care Home in Marazion, Cornwall, appeared to be the work of renowned Cornish painter Stanhope Alexander Forbes.
Leonard Cheshire, which runs the home which supports up to 27 disabled adults, said the artwork piqued the interest of a “new, art-loving member of staff”.
The charity said it took the painting to the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow tour at the Dartington Estate in Totnes, Devon, in May, where experts valued the piece, titled Taking a Rest, A Girl Seated on a Stool, at “several thousand pounds”.
