🎨 Astonishing discovery! Lincolnshire townhouse unveils hidden identity of an 18th-century

Detective work carried out by a young criminology graduate has led to an astonishing revelation concerning a portrait that had long adorned the walls of a modest Victorian townhouse in Lincolnshire.

Auctioneer James Laverack enlisted the help of his daughter, Georgia Laverack, a criminology graduate from Oxford Brookes University who was assisting at the saleroom for the summer. "The Rathause collection has an almost identical portrait of - ”Maria Anna, Countess Palatine of Zweibrucken-Birkenfeld-Bischweiler, Duchess of Bavaria and sister of Maximilian I, King of Bavaria. Her dates are 1753-1824.”
