A Dutch Golden Age masterpiece has been discovered in the Blue Mountains (NSW). The work 'Still Life' was in storage of the Woodford Academy for many years. During recent conservation work the painting turned out to be an original, made by Willem Heda and his son Gerrit. We spoke to Rebecca Pinchin of the National Trust of Australia.
