#2 - A Raid and a Proposal
Elisabeth's story continues!

19-year-old Elisabeth Vigée's career as a portraitist is really taking off, until, that is, she meets an unforeseen obstacle and her studio is raided by the officers of the court. And then she discovers that her greedy stepfather has been pocketing the funds from her portrait commissions. Ever resourceful, she finds ways around her problems. But what will the long-term consequences of her choices be?

#3 - A Confession and a Royal Portrait
Elisabeth's portrait of Marie Antoinette is a dream come true—but is she ready for the treachery of Versailles?

Elisabeth begins her married life after Pierre's business dealing falls through, and receives the hoped-for commissions for royal portraits. Her brother returns home from school with ambitions to be a playwright, and Elisabeth introduces him to the exclusive salons. But along with her new notoriety come unanticipated challenges, and the realities—and disappointments—of marriage threaten to undermine her equanimity. When a handsome nobleman notices her at a salon, her world slips sideways, and she begins to suspect that there is more to love than the comfortable relationship with her husband.

#4 - A Straw Hat and an Allegory
Finally official portraitist to Marie Antoinette, and with an important artistic breakthrough, Elisabeth's struggles for recognition seem at an end. But when she discovers that she has been directly compared to her increasingly important rival, she pushes for yet more. Will her efforts succeed, or backfire?

#5 - A Rival and a Looming Crisis
As Elisabeth tests the waters in a clandestine dalliance, her reputation as an artist and a saloniste grows. But tragedy strikes close to home, and the queen suffers not just calumnies, but terrible losses. Elisabeth's loyalty is unwavering in the face of growing popular animosity to Marie Antoinette, as is her belief that life will continue as it is. When she is betrayed by someone she thought was her friend, the boundaries of her privileged world start to crumble.

#6 - Flight and Return
As discontent grows more and more dangerous, Elisabeth clings to her role as the premier portraitist in Paris. But are her ties to Marie Antoinette too close for safety? This final book in Behind the Painted Fan brings the story full circle from Elisabeth's point of view.
