"Rebecca Glenn handles (the story) smoothly and adroitly, imbuing all her characters but especially Lisette with believably realized personalities and giving a very vivid sense of the 18th century art world. I finished it eagerly looking forward to the next volume in the series." - Review by the Historical Novel Society

Independent and beautiful, Ã‰lisabeth VigÃ©e, affectionately called Lisette by friends and family, has progressed in the art of oil painting faster than anyone could have anticipated. Having received instruction from her beloved father, Louis VigÃ©e, a prominent Parisian guild painter, Lisette possesses all the qualities of a brilliant young painter, but is saddled with a singular disadvantage â€“ being a woman. Undeterred, Lisette believes that she can become a painter in Paris. Approaching a marriageable age, her parents have other plans for Lisette, ones that donâ€™t include painting. Lisette finds support in a dashing art collector and French Army officer named Amante, who is clearly intrigued by her talent and beauty.

After Lisetteâ€™s father dies unexpectedly, her family is left in dire financial straits. Lisette wants to support her family, but before she can sell a single painting, her mother marries a wealthy merchant jeweler named Le SÃ¨vre. Le SÃ¨vre discovers Lisetteâ€™s artistic abilities and soon has her painting portraits of his noble and wealthy jewelry clientele. It quickly becomes clear that Le SÃ¨vre only wants to control Lisette, leading to severe consequences for her budding career, Amanteâ€™s pursuit of her affections and even her safety. Lisette realizes that she must find her own way â€“ before it is too late.
