Celebrated portraitist Henry MacAlpine, retired from the London art scene to an island off the coast of France, accepts a commission in the early 1900s to paint his one-time friend and mentor William Nasmyth, a powerful art critic, but as the session progresses it becomes clear that MacAlpine's feelings toward his subject fall far short of gratitude.
