Sinopsis
The Maid's Request tells the beautiful story of an enigmatic relationship between a 16th-century Italian painter and his servant. At the behest of the French king the artist has journeyed from Italy to lead his school of students in the design and construction of a château in the Loire Valley. Despite the fact that master and servant seldom talk, each is acutely aware of the other's presence and routine. He gives her gifts of clothing and jewellery; she is sensitive to his every need. He imagines them dying together, envisaging her as lover, angel, Madonna. Finally she puts it to him, falteringly, one sleepless winter's night in the kitchen - she would like to continue to serve him after death by offering him her body to study. Then, on receiving news of her idiot son's death, she sets out to bury him, promising to return shortly. But the winter passes and she still hasn't returned. The artist develops a fever and, unable to draw, he waits . . .

Condición: Como nuevo. : En el siglo XVI, un renombrado pintor italiano viaja a Francia para dirigir la construcción de un castillo en el valle del Loira. Acompañado por su sirvienta, ambos desarrollan una relación enigmática, marcada por la sensibilidad y la admiración mutua, a pesar de la escasez de palabras. La sirvienta, consciente de las necesidades del artista, le ofrece un regalo inusual: su cuerpo para el estudio después de la muerte. Sin embargo, tras la pérdida de su hijo, se marcha y no regresa, sumiendo al artista en una fiebre y una espera interminable. Esta conmovedora historia explora temas de devoción, arte y la complejidad de las relaciones humanas en un contexto histórico fascinante.
