The Autumn of Watteau Ann Brener

PARIS, 1718.
Two lovers torn apart.

NEW ORLEANS, 1980s.
A young woman's quest for a lost masterpiece...

One of four hauntingly beautiful paintings created by one of the greatest painters of 18th-century France, The Autumn of Watteau originally hung in the opulent Parisian mansion of aristocrat and businessman Pierre Crozat.

As the centuries passed, only one survived. The Autumn of Watteau is the story of an old French memoir, two doomed lovers and one young woman's journey to find a lost work-of-art through a romance of her own.

Moving from Regency Paris to New Orleans, this stunning debut is a touching and timeless story of love and loss.
