Portrait of the Lady in Black

By Len Calderone

Museum lover, Aiden Brayden, an accountant who lives with numbers, finds solace in visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. He becomes enraptured with a portrait of the Lady in Black, who lived 147 years ago. Not a day goes by that Aiden fails to sit in admiration of the Lady during his lunch break. One day, the painting is removed for cleaning and Aiden becomes depressed, until he meets the mysterious Emma, a stunning model and the mirror image of the Lady in Black, who takes his mind from the long dead, beautiful woman in the portrait. Aiden feels as though he is cheating on Lady in Black when he starts to see Emma. But is he?
