| Summary |
"Two Studios" by Frances Mary Peard is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores the lives of artists, specifically focusing on the contrasting experiences within two different studios in London. The book opens with Charles Everitt, a painter who cherishes his independence and artistic integrity, and delves into his interactions with various characters, including friends and would-be models, set against the vibrant yet challenging backdrop of the art world. The beginning of the novel presents a richly detailed description of Everitt's studio, where he finds solace from the chaotic city life outside. Introduced are elements of his character, such as his reluctance to produce simplistic works for commercial success and his eventual commitment to a peculiar situation when he volunteers to disguise himself as a model for a young artist, Kitty Lascelles. The narrative sets up a playful tension as Everitt navigates the repercussions of his choice, creating a blend of humor and introspection, while hinting at deeper explorations of identity and artistic passion as the story unfolds.
