Orchardscroft: The Story Of An Artist is a novel written by Elsa D�������Esterre-Keeling and first published in 1892. The book tells the story of an artist named Orchardscroft, who is struggling to find her place in the world. The novel is set in the late 19th century in England and follows Orchardscroft as she navigates the challenges of being a female artist in a male-dominated society. The story begins with Orchardscroft as a young girl, growing up in a small village in the English countryside. She is passionate about art and spends most of her time drawing and painting. However, her family does not support her artistic ambitions and instead encourages her to focus on more practical pursuits. Despite this, Orchardscroft continues to pursue her passion for art and eventually moves to London to attend art school. In London, Orchardscroft faces many challenges as a female artist. She struggles to find a mentor who will take her seriously and is often dismissed by her male peers. However, she perseveres and eventually gains recognition for her work. Throughout the novel, Orchardscroft also navigates relationships with various men, including a fellow artist named Julian and a wealthy businessman named Mr. Carrington. These relationships are complicated and often cause Orchardscroft to question her own values and beliefs. Orchardscroft: The Story Of An Artist is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of gender, art, and identity. It offers a glimpse into the challenges faced by female artists in the late 19th century and is a testament to the power of perseverance and self-belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
