Portraits of an Artist Mary F Burns

"An evocative rendering of the great portraitist as seen through the eyes of the subjects of his most famous paintings. A tour de force of historical and psychological imagination." (Paula Marantz Cohen, author of What Alice Knew, Jane Austen in Scarsdale). "The writing is richly subtle and each character exquisitely drawn. One hears murmurs behind doors and the truth just beyond the corner... In the end of this fascinating novel, however, it is the portrait of the young artist himself, still an enigma, which lingers in the reader's mind." (Stephanie Cowell, author of Claude & Camille, Marrying Mozart)
