About this audiobook
In a remote chateau, a wounded traveler discovers the history behind a strikingly lifelike painting of a young woman. The tale reveals an artist so consumed by capturing his bride's beauty on canvas that he fails to notice her life draining away with every brushstroke. It is a compact, powerful parable about the parasitic nature of art. The story lingers on the tragic cost of immortalizing perfection.
