Summary
In a mist-choked corner of Edwardian England, a celebrated painter—his canvases already haunted by the amber ghosts of twilight—finds his carefully gessoed life splitting down the grain when two specters of desire materialize: the sylph-like former lover whose every glance still smolders like turpentine on hot coals, and the dew-bright ward he once rescued from orphanage anonymity, now metamorphosed into a porcelain-skinned ingénue on the trembling brink of womanhood. Between the hush of moors at indigo dusk and the gaslight fever of London salons, the triangle tightens: brushstrokes, whispers, and half-spoken confessions bleed together until the very pigment of morality seems to run. What unfolds is no mere melodrama but a chiaroscuro meditation on possession, creation, and the perilous moment when the subject lifts her eyes from the canvas and demands to be seen as flesh, not muse.
