Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century art dealings, the narrative explores themes of nationalism and the value of cultural heritage. The story follows Lord Theign, who faces pressure to sell a valuable painting to settle his daughter's debts. Art critic Hugh Crimble argues against the sale, igniting public sentiment. As tensions rise, Theign ultimately decides to gift a rare artwork to the National Gallery instead, supported by his daughter Lady Grace and friend Lady Sandgate. The plot intertwines personal stakes with broader cultural implications.
