...Gogh's sitter in this portrait is a kindly Breton named Père Tanguy, who kept a small art-supply shop in Paris where the avant-garde foregathered.

Thwaytes carted the old picture home but never bothered to have it examined. Last year a friend showed a snapshot of Captain Thwaytes's picture to an expert in London. The expert gasped, demanded to see the picture. Sure enough, despite flaking and repeated clumsy attempts at restoration, it was, as Dealer Cookson had said all along, a genuine Caravaggio.
