She wears a black fur shawl and has no luggage. She is alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver the coming days and nights, she tells a story, which begins with a secret shared in a local bath house, revealing art forgery and fraud on a dazzling scale. At its heart is an enigmatic genius who for years forged portraits of the city's elite, before disappearing without trace. It is a story of influence and intrigue, in which nothing is as it seems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe're not to expect 'names, numbers or dates', she cautions, but a more subtle kind of reckoning... Told in a mordant, irresistible voice and full of sharp surprises, Portrait of an Unknown Lady is a captivating enquiry into what we mean by 'authenticity', in life as in art. At once poised and capricious, elegant and bold, it is a thrilling exploration of the relationships between what is lived, what is told, what is remembered, and what is real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTranslated from the Spanish by Thomas Bunstead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2022\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Vintage\u003cbr\u003ePages: 208\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781787303249\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1787303249\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maria Gainza","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45242062373130,"sku":"","price":19.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781787303249.jpg?v=1708856081","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/portrait-of-an-unknown-lady","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
