Plot summary
Percy has finished a portrait of Genuine, a high priestess, and since then he has been irritable and withdrawn. He paints no more, refuses to see his friends, and sits alone in his study with the picture. When a wealthy patron offers to buy the canvas, Percy says no. He reads stories of Genuine's life and falls asleep. She is a cruel divinity of ancient times who draws men to her and makes them kill as proof of their love. Genuine comes to life out of the painting and escapes.
