[Pom Harrington, Owner of Peter Harrington]

"We actually have an original painting by Winston Churchill. He was very known for his paintings. He really loved it. It was his way of relaxing. He did painting tours and holidays in Morocco, and this is one of the ones from Morocco."

“This painting was actually commissioned by Clementine Churchill in 1943, during the war. It was done, they made a print of it to sell so as to raise money for the Russian Red Cross. But this is the original painting, it's huge and has a real presence, and he's looking terribly Churchillian."

The collection belongs to Forbes Media chairman Steve Forbes
