One morning in 1890 a painting wrapped in brown paper appears on the steps of the National Gallery and causes a sensation. It's clearly by Timothy Ponden-Hall an artist whose paintings were celebrated and debated not just for their beauty but for the rumours behind them: his masterpieces were believed to immortalise the souls of their subjects. But the shadowy explorer and artist has been thought dead for the last 50 years - so what does this new portrait mean? The gallery brings in renowned art historian Solomon Oak to investigate the painting as rumours swirl through the streets of London town. In a bid to uncover the truth Oak is assisted by an unlikely aid: his daughter Alice. A passionate but sheltered student Alice has worldly desires which eclipse the life she's expected to lead. Together they discover that exposing Ponden-Hall's legacy will prove more controversial than they could ever have imagined for their family and Victorian society. Set between London and Oxford The Portrait Artist is a twisting historical debut exploring race fame and long-kept secrets.
