No one seems to know what has happened to this £50, 000 painting of the Queen, if it does belong to the BBC shouldn't the licence payers be told?

If it has been put out of sight because of Rolf Harris's alleged wrongdoings there must be a whole multitude of valuable historical paintings that should face the same treatment, assuming what wrongdoing some of those 'Old Masters' artists must have got up to?

Perhaps it's being used as evidence?

I mean, it was fairly offensive.

Giovanni Bazzi, il Sodoma to his mates, was a bit of a lad. Caravaggio was a murderer. Great rogues can produce great art. While Rolf Harris might not be in their class if his picture of ER is considered to have any merit it could be stored somewhere until all the scandal has died away.

which is probably what has happened Sandy, but not PC to say so.

Is he guilty then or more trial by speculation.

[woofgang]

no idea...which I is why i think the painting has been conveniently "lost" rather then sent back to the artist or destroyed.

It is on the floor of the Royal Budgie Cage.

Did I see two little boys on wooden horses, dashing off with it?

[joko]

bit rude of them to just send it back to the BBC - its not their fault RH has been exposed ... I know they say they don't own it, but thats just being pedantic.

they should have just put it away somewhere

Nothing should have been done with the painting, he is innocent till proved guilty.
