Synopsis

Young Nicolas Poussin, as yet unknown, visits the painter Porbus in his workshop.

Although Frenhofer has mastered his technique, he admits that he has been unable to find a suitable model for his own masterpiece, which depicts a beautiful courtesan called Catherine Lescault, known as La Belle noiseuse. He has been working on this future masterpiece, that no one has yet seen, for ten years...
