Though women do not paint landscapes (they are generally restricted to indoor subjects), a wintry outdoor scene haunts Sara: She cannot shake the image of a young girl from a nearby village, standing alone beside a silver birch at dusk, staring out at a group of skaters on the frozen river below. Defying the expectations of her time, she decides to paint it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNew York City, 1957: The only known surviving work of Sara de Vos, \u003ci\u003e At the Edge of a Wood\u003c\/i\u003e, hangs in the bedroom of a wealthy Manhattan lawyer, Marty de Groot, a descendant of the original owner. It is a beautiful but comfortless landscape. The lawyer's marriage is prominent but comfortless, too. When a struggling art history grad student, Ellie Shipley, agrees to forge the painting for a dubious art dealer, she finds herself entangled with its owner in ways no one could predict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSydney, 2000: Now a celebrated art historian and curator, Ellie Shipley is mounting an exhibition in her field of specialization: female painters of the Dutch Golden Age. When it becomes apparent that both the original \u003ci\u003eAt the Edge of a Wood \u003c\/i\u003eand her forgery are en route to her museum, the life she has carefully constructed threatens to unravel entirely and irrevocably.","brand":"Picador USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67618350661875,"sku":"9781250118325","price":26.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/7432\/5312\/files\/imageloader_8d68f72f-15fa-4b44-9dbc-e5c43e45b1b0.jpg?v=1790875227","url":"https:\/\/letterpressplay.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-last-painting-of-sara-de-vos","provider":"Letterpress PLAY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
