Portrait Lovers Clash Over a Bohemian Artist
In a late 19th century studio drama, Maud Battersea sits for Tennesseean Godfrey Waring as artist McAllister arranges a social web among Miss Satterlee and her friends. Godfrey pursues Maud, learns of her wealth and elite family, and faces rejection when the portrait reveals a satire of his vanity. He leaves in anger, later reconciled with a note of heartbreak and a fledgling romance in New York.
