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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dominic Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250118328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250118325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Dominic Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051601326335,"sku":"9781250118325","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_97e1b989-9fe9-46b0-9b7e-c4f7e3cf056c.jpg?v=1685014058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-painting-of-sara-dominic-smith-9781250118325","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
