The story follows the life of a young woman named Anne Hastings, who is an aspiring artist living in Boston during the late 19th century.

As Anne begins to establish herself as an artist, she meets a wealthy and influential man named Robert Underwood, who becomes her patron and encourages her career. However, Anne soon realizes that Robert's interest in her is not purely professional, and she must navigate the complex social dynamics of their relationship.Throughout the novel, Anne struggles to balance her artistic ambitions with the expectations of her family and society. She also grapples with her feelings for Robert and the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field.In Plain Air provides a vivid portrait of life in late 19th century Boston, with detailed descriptions of the city's art scene, social customs, and gender roles. The novel explores themes of ambition, love, and the limitations placed on women in a rapidly changing society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
