Portrait of an Unknown Lady

The novel weaves together different timelines and artworks to explore deeper themes. I'm curious whether this was a deliberate decision or evolved naturally during writing.

Her elusive presence kept me guessing about her true identity and significance. Did her story resonate differently for others based on their background?

The selection of pieces feels so deliberate and meaningful. I wonder if she had a specific collection in mind or if each artwork was chosen to evoke particular themes.
