When a renowned artist is commissioned to paint the Duchess - the wife of a retired American General, he finds himself drawn into a relationship beyond his control or understanding. As the portrait progresses, so their new love blossoms and so does their fear of the wrath of the General.Tender and naive, yet terrifying, The Duchess is both a love story and a secular horror story, and a savage indictment of power as it operates in the contemporary world.
