Summary
In 1893, portraitist Piero Piambo is commissioned to paint the portrait of Mrs. Charbuque, but he finds this assignment bizarre as his client insists he never look at her, and must enact a true likeness from questions of his subject.
Amazon.com description: Product Description:

A mysterious and richly evocative novel, The Portrait of Mrs. Charbuque tells the story of portraitist Piero Piambo, who is offered a commission unlike any other. The client is Mrs. Charbuque, a wealthy and elusive woman who asks Piambo to paint her portrait, though with one bizarre twist: he may question her at length on any topic, but he may not, under any circumstances, see her. So begins an astonishing journey into Mrs. Charbuque's world and the world of 1893 New York society in this hypnotically compelling literary thriller.
