"A true-life detective story set in the Australian art world, around the life of one of Australia's most famous painters, Lloyd Rees. Stephen Scheding, art collector and historian, buys a small painting of a boatshed at an auction in Melbourne. The painting is unsigned, but his first response is that it is a painting by Lloyd Rees from the 1920s. This is the story of his attempts to authenticate the painting, from tracking clues in the painting and on its frame, to X-rays (which reveal a surprising 'signature'), to investigations of possible past owners of the painting, to an examination of the life of Lloyd Rees and his contemporaries and the coming of modernism to Sydney in the 1920s."
