''Children Under a Palm'' (or sometimes ''Children Under a Palm Tree'') is a water colour painting by Winslow Homer. It was featured in the second episode of the BBC TV series ''Fake or Fortune?'' ==Origin== The work was painted in the Bahamas in 1885. It is in watercolour and pencil.〔(Catalogue description )〕 It measures 14 inches by 20 inches and depicts the three children of Sir Henry Blake, the colonial governor of the Bahamas at the time.〔(''Sunday Times'' report )〕 They were attending a fancy dress party in Arabian costume. The party was also attended by Winslow Homer who was asked by Lady Blake to sketch the children. The central figure is Olive Blake. On either side of her are her younger brothers, Maurice and Arthur. Olive subsequently married John (Jack) Arbuthnot who wrote some of the Beachcomber columns. In her later years, Olive was described by one of her grandsons as being "a formidable looking woman of whom I was somewhat frightened".〔(Independent article by Patrick Cockburn )〕 The painting was not framed and was subsequently included among a number of works by Lady Blake who was herself an amateur artist. The family believed the painting was by her. After colonial service in Jamaica and Hong Kong, the Blakes retired to Myrtle Grove in County Cork, Ireland.
