A 1950s oil painting of Tenby in summer, bought at the Lincoln Arts and Antiques Fair this year, has been brought home. For the BBC2 programme, 'Put your money where your mouth is', presenter James Braxton selects and buys work that is likely to turn a profit and contacts potential buyers to do a deal. In this case the buyer was The White Lion Street Gallery in Tenby.

Filming for the programme took place on Thursday morning in the gallery and surrounds, to show the arrival of the painting, discussion of its merits and provenance and the purchase negotiations.

As the painting shows a view from The Paragon towards St. Catherines and includes the bandstand, cliffs, the end of Lexden Terrace and distant coastline, filming continued in the town to compare the work with the view today.

The work is typical of its time, and charming, in a painterly style in subtle colours, the beach shown with figures enjoying the sunshine, playing games, paddling and sunbathing beside a lively turquoise sea.

The artist, Ethel Harker, was listed as a member of the Liverpool Academy of Arts and showed her work at The Walker Art Gallery in the 1960s. She is mentioned in David Buckman's 'Artists in Britain since 1945' and described as 'a versatile painter in oil and watercolour who studied at Chester School of Art and privately... a member of the Liver Sketching Club... exhibited at Royal Cambrian Academy and Walker Art Gallery... lived in Heswall, Cheshire.'

James Braxton, the presenter, is a director of a string of auction houses across southern England and lives with his family in Sussex. He is well known as a television presenter and antiques expert on programmes such as 'Bargain Hunt' and 'Flog It'.

Whereas the television programme will not be shown until the autumn, the painting may be viewed in the gallery now. Readers are invited to see the painting and estimate its value. The gallery is open every day except Wednesday, from 10 am to 5 pm, and entry is free.
