Isabella is so giving… I really hope de Grave is deserving, although I get the feeling he isn’t.

Yes, she is certainly not only forgiving of him, but also quite supportive. I hope he hasn’t pulled the wool over her eyes, but part of me feels he may very well have.

Seems like a classic portrait of how love can cloud judgment and make someone seem better than they are. Beautifully rendered though.

Oh, dear. So she does have feelings for him. Now I’m thinking, if he decides to up it and leave, where’s that going to leave poor Isabella? I love how you describe that she takes on another expression while she’s defending him. Good job. : )
