Chapter XXI — Crome yellow
Chapter XXI opens with Anne positioned comfortably on the granary floor, her posture both relaxed and deliberate as she poses for Gombauld’s brush.

Below, white ducks glide through the grass with absent-minded purpose, their peace momentarily disturbed by the pair above. Gombauld paints in bursts of irritation, overwhelmed not by the technical challenge but by the layered tension Anne introduces simply…-
