Born in Constantinople, she came to France as a young woman and resisted all attempts tp force her into a marriage of convenience, preferring to train as a painter and be independent. She was adopted by the Comtesse de Tessé, who hosted a leading intellectual salon in Paris, until they had to flee the country during the revolution. De Tott lived in Switzerland and Germany where she earned her living as a portrait painter before coming as a refugee to England. She wrote a tragic novel that mirrored her own unhappy love-life. She knew many of the most famous people of her time, including the French monarchs and Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States. This biography becomes a detective story in seeking to unravel the truth about her secret love-child and the lengths she went to in order to avoid scandal. Julia Gasper is the author of \"Elizabeth Craven: Writer, Feminist and European\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 248\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.63 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160311865496,"sku":"9781716769443","price":66.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0759\/8830\/4024\/files\/SkZEUUN6eExKalNkZDljU3ZBYVJnZz09.webp?v=1779782012","url":"https:\/\/thepinkflamingobooks.myshopify.com\/products\/sophie-de-tott-artist-in-a-time-of-revolution-hardcover","provider":"The Pink Flamingo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
