Synopsis
The tables are turned on art detective Philip Mould, as one of his own purchases is put under the microscope. With his keen-eyed researcher Bendor Grosvenor, Philip has bought a painting that he says could be the find of a lifetime: an important work by influential portrait painter Sir Anthony Van Dyck, worth a small fortune. The only problem is that, in order to prove it, he will have to remove later layers of paint to uncover the truth. A thorough restoration is needed, and inches of canvas are cut away as an earlier image begins to appear. Fiona is not convinced, and insists that the work undergoes a thorough investigation and is authenticated by an independent Van Dyck expert. Will Philip's reputation and the painting make it to the end of the journey unscathed?, In the Season 2 finale, a possible Anthony van Dyck painting owned by the show's own Philip Mould is examined. If authentic, it would be worth a small fortune.
