About this book
An unfinished face on a Florentine portrait draws a painter into the changing moods of Lady Lisa. In Jennette Lee's collection of stories about musicians and artists, the studio becomes a place where professional ambition meets feelings that resist being caught on canvas. The opening story follows a sitting shaped by music, a small wooden figure and the painter's urgent wish to capture an elusive expression.
Lee also brings music into intimate human encounters. A later scene places Schubert at the piano with a young countess, whose affection meets the limits imposed by her father. The collection's contents range across figures including Bach, Chopin, Titian and Albrecht Dürer.
