Gallery of New Beginnings

1810

 

A year had passed, and summer was approaching again for Margaux Helvets.  The year of 1809 provided a variety of interactions and emotions, which sent the poor young woman into mental turmoil; she allowed herself to be vulnerable to love, which was then torn away from her and proclaimed to have never been true.  Humiliated and angered, Margaux Renee grew reclusive in her family’s estate of Cheval Hall in Cathalon, and vanished from the city of Providence for the remainder of the year, leading into the next.

 

Margaux had not spent the months wallowing in her sorrow, rather, she sought out her own form of respite and solace through painting.  By the return of summer, she planned to return to society with a gesture that ought to reshape her whole image.  She was determined to not be defined by another’s follies.

The Gallery of New Beginnings

 

During the later period of Tobias’ Bounty, Lady Margaux Helvets shall display her first-ever finished collection of paintings to the courtiers, aristocrats, and denizens of Providence.  All had been made in her own hand, and in pursuit of a similar theme: Springtime, for it resembles a fresh and optimistic start in one’s journey.

 

The Gallery shall remain on display throughout the remainder of the summer, after its opening, within the halls of the Augustine Palace.

 

Guests are welcomed to attend the opening of the gallery to be treated to drinks and delicious finger-foods while they admire Lady Helvets’ works and discuss them.  After which, an auction shall be held for various paintings in the collection as well as prints.

 

All proceedings shall be used in preparing more galleries in the future.

Maisie would smile brightly as she got the notice of her dearest friend Margaux's gallery. "Oh I simply cannot wait to attend this. All the rest of this years social gatherings look simply boring!" pinning it to her headboard so she could never forget it!
