Portrait of a Lady portraitist and a blurred 19th century scene
A fragmentary tale centers on Miss Desborough and Mr. Chisholm in late 18th or early 19th century English social circles. They navigate social expectations, art dealings, and a proposed portrait by Joshua Reynolds at Christie’s, with tension over price and propriety as the narrative voice sketches interactions and emotional undercurrents.
