The Real Thing
When an aristocratic but impoverished couple offers to model for an illustrator, he believes he has found the perfect subjects—refined, dignified, and unmistakably “the real thing.” Yet, as he struggles to capture their essence, he discovers that authenticity is not always suited to art. Meanwhile, his hired working-class models prove far more adaptable, forcing him to reconsider the nature of representation and creativity.
