- Nicholson
E1NicholsonA William Nicholson painting purchased by a collector from an estate, which is not included in a 'catalogue raisonné' (a comprehensive, annotated listing of all the known works by Nicholson) created by expert Patricia Reed, leads Fiona and Philip on a mission to try and convince Reed that it is indeed a genuine Nicholson painting. - Toulouse-Lautrec
E2Toulouse-LautrecFiona Bruce and Philip Mould head to France to try to authenticate a batch of sketches and watercolours supposedly produced by a teenage Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, works which had already been rejected by the Committee responsible for authenticating the work of Toulouse-Lautrec. They need to uncover proof which, they hope, will persuade the Committee to reassess their previous decision. - Henry Moore
E3Henry MooreFiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate a small watercolour sketch that could be the work of sculptor Henry Moore. The piece was found in 2012 in a hoard of artwork stolen by the Nazis. While the unidentified piece has many characteristics of Moore's work, none of the other artworks recovered were by British artists, so it remains a mystery how it came to be there. The team must not only find out who created it, but also who it belonged to, since it may have been looted from Jewish owners during the Holocaust and will need to be returned to surviving descendants. - A Double Whodunnit
E4A Double WhodunnitFiona Bruce and Philip Mould investigate the origins of two paintings by unknown artists dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries, which unusually for the period, depict black subjects. One is a portrait of Dido Belle, a famous former slave adopted into an aristocratic English family in the 1760s, while the other depicts two children against a tropical landscape, and is believed to have been painted as a protest against the slave trade.
