In the 1630s Amsterdam, a wealthy businessman is married to a beautiful, younger wife. He commissions an artist to paint their portrait. Predictably, the young wife falls in love with the young artist. There are some other twists and turns that are not predictable and there is some suspense about how the 2 young lovers are going to pull off their plans for the future; however I was not pulled into the story and could not get interested in the characters.
This is a love story with deceit and betrayal. There is very little character development, historical background or description of the tulip mania that has seized the country at this time.
