She falls in love with a young fisherman, a fine type of manhood. Upon an invitation he consents to pose for her and to make sure of his service until the canvas is completed, she allows him to think that possibly she might care for him. He becomes a slave to her. She allows him to go on loving her deeper every day. His own sweetheart of the fishing village is brokenhearted. The picture is almost finished when the artist invites the fisherman to accompany her to the city that the finishing touches may be made in her studio. Once in the city the fisherman's eyes begin to open. He finds that she already has a fiancé, an artist like herself. In fact, he comes to know that she was merely flirting with him, leading him on that she might use him to further her art. Did he simply resign himself to the inevitable, return to his village and marry his fisher-girl sweetheart? Yes. he did that, but he did something else first. He took a knife and transformed the painting of himself into a pile of painted fragments. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
