It revolves around themes of art, love, and nobility, likely set against a backdrop of European aristocracy. The story primarily follows Frederick Grafton, an American art collector, as he becomes intertwined with the lives of a Grand Duke and his intriguing niece, Erica, highlighting the contrasts between commoner and royal expectations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Frederick Grafton, who is passionately in pursuit of a particular painting, a spurious Velasquez, that he believes will enhance his collection. His obsession leads him to Zweitenbourg, where he encounters the Grand Duke and his niece, Erica. As Grafton navigates the intricacies of the aristocratic world, he accidentally crosses paths with Erica in a dress shop, and their subsequent interactions blossom amid social conventions and royal duties. The beginning sets the stage for a budding romance and hints at the tensions between personal desire and the weight of tradition and duty in a royal context.
