Is it a good piece of painting or is it more the figure who painted it?

How many others are there? Because I know he was a traveller through the war. Did he take a sketchbook? Did he paint while he was travelling, visiting the troops?

Where has this painting been up to this point and how much is it worth?

Five to eight hundred thousand pounds.

Goodness. So that's going to attract an awful lot of bidders, you would expect. It would be a shame, would it not, if it left the UK?

So what is happening in that part of the world to create an earthquake of that magnitude?

I know you're always asked this question, but what does it mean going forward in the days ahead? Can you predict at all the size of the aftershocks and how many there might be?
