Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins as the artist Sandor Tatray loses everything he has in a gambling den. A mysterious stranger pays his debts and hands him a small fortune, changing his life forever. He returns to his studio and goes to work painting portraits by day and hobnobbing in the half-world of society and bohemians by night. He becomes a critical darling and a celebrated figure. At a garden party, the author sees the stranger again and tells him that he's going to paint his portrait, but the stranger disappears before he can hear the answer. The stranger reappears three years later, accompanied by his wife, whom she recognizes as the beautiful woman whose portrait he has secretly been painting in his heart. She is the wife of his benefactor, Laszlo Voross. Despite Sandor's best efforts to keep his feelings purely professional, he cannot resist the allure of Jolan Voross. This book explores the fascinating dynamic of desire, duty, and unrequited love, set against the backdrop of Europe's elite at the turn of the century.
