After all, artistry on the finest porcelain is a highly sought after craft, the most precious porcelain the treasure of royalty.Īs is typical with a Nancy Bilyeau authored novel, as the novel opens, protagonist Genevieve Planche immediately encounters a major dilemma. Instead of drawing life from oil, she will paint decor onto porcelain. His idea? She will learn a craft, a most valuable one.
Even her grandfather – a respected artist in his own right – believes Genevieve’s options limited by her gender. There is only one problem, however - one seemingly insurmountable. As an 18th-century Huguenot woman living in London, none of the masters would take her on. All Genevieve needs beyond her God-given giftedness is a mentor, a renowned artist who can teach her how to truly capture life in oil, the exquisite detail she seeks beyond her current abilities. Laden with artistic talent, drive, passion, and courage, she strives to emerge the next great oil portraitist, the master of her craft. Genevieve Planche is a woman with a mission.
