Richard Beaumont hoped to see the rarest species of crow on the white cliffs of Dover. Instead, he saw a young woman jump to her death - 'an angel leaping from the skies and merging with the landscape'. So that is the scene he painted. He would have painted the crow - an omen of hope. What he painted was an omen of something else entirely.
But who was the woman? No one recognises her; no one has reported her missing.
