Sophie Gengembre Anderson – The Artist in my Short Story “The Fifth Floor”
Google Sophie Gengembre Anderson (1823-1903) and you will see some exquisite paintings. Most of her subjects were young girls. She had a soft, romantic style which depicted the love she had for children and people. The painting in my short story, “The Fifth Floor” describes a portrait of a girl with a peach dress holding a book. Although, as far as I know, Sophie Gengembre Anderson never painted such a portrait, I named her as the artist because it was her style which I hoped to portray in the painting hanging on the fifth floor.
