Black and White archive film with original commentary explaining the method of double-image painting. The film shows Evan Walters painting a figure of a model using this technique. Presenter Kim Howells interviews Conservation Officer Emma Fisher at Swansea's Glynn Vivian art gallery in front of one of Evan Walters's double-image paintings 'Stout Man with a Jug', painted in the 1930's. Emma explains how parts of the image are repeated - hand, eye, etc. and that this gives an effect of movement. She suggests that this may have been his response to the experimentation taking place in art at the time, his stab at modernism. Emma then shows one simple step in cleaning a painting of this age and condition, simply using a cotton bud and a little saliva.
