These four watercolours were supposedly painted by the last Tsar of Russia while he was in an asylum. My uncle was the family butler of the Wernher family and my aunt was the dressmaker. Lady Zia was a granddaughter of Tsar Nicholas and their home was Luton Hoo in Bedfordshire. The Wernhers owned the de Beers diamond mines.
