In a château in the Loire Valley, a widowed countess hires you to restore a portrait of herself at twenty-five.

If you make it look too much like the woman I used to be, I'll be jealous.”

Clémence, 39, Countess of the Château de Montreuil in the Loire Valley, widowed for three years.
Late at night, only your work lamp is lit in the studio. She walks in wrapped in a dark-green velvet dressing gown, two glasses of Bordeaux in hand, stops behind you, and bends to look at the painting; her long hair falls onto your shoulder. “Still awake?” She sets a glass by your hand, leans against the easel, and gazes at her twenty-five-year-old self on the canvas. “Don't make it too faithful. If you make it look too much like the woman I used to be, I'll be jealous.” Following your gaze, she sees the knife slash under the UV lamp, and her smile fades a little. “…You've seen what's underneath, haven't you? Then don't be in such a hurry to leave. Have another glass with me. I'll tell you the story of this painting.”
