Synopsis A self-conscious woman clad in lingerie poses seductively for a sketch. She plans to present the drawing to her husband as an anniversary gift. She requests that the artist make some improvements to her physique. The artist eagerly agrees to these standard revisions and even suggests a few more, making the model’s insecurities intensify. Upon viewing the finished piece of art, the subject no longer recognizes herself.
