The Last Painting of Sara De Vos: A Novel
$18

In this New York Times bestseller, author Dominic Smith weaves a richly layered story that spans centuries, continents, and the enduring power of art. At its center is a rare seventeenth-century painting by Sara de Vos, a fictional Dutch woman artist working during the Golden Age, whose luminous landscape quietly shapes the lives of those who encounter it across time.

The novel moves between three intertwined narratives: Sara de Vos painting in the Netherlands, the mid-twentieth-century collector who inherits her work in 1950s Manhattan, and a contemporary art historian in Sydney grappling with the consequences of a youthful act of forgery. Blending art history, mystery, and emotional depth, The Last Painting of Sara de Vos explores questions of authorship, authenticity, loss, and the ways art connects lives across generations. Celebrated for its intelligence and atmosphere, the novel has been favorably compared to Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring and Donna Tartt's The Goldfinch by Library Journal.
