About this item

The dramatic theft of an 18th century painting is discovered just moments before the old manor house uniquely depicted in the background of the portrait is set alight. Coincidence? Does the reputation of the Baronet, the subject of the painting, as a hell-raiser and member of the Crustacean Club have any connection to the fire?
