Vennata Porfino

From MeiLinWiki

Vennata Porfino is a minor character in the third book of An Intimate History of the Greater Kingdom, The Last Royal Mistress.

She was a slender and intense woman, working mainly as a portraitist. For a time, she was the lover of Lisset. Her painting of Lisset as the Beloved, attended by Bear holding a mirror reflecting her beauty, was named 'The Beloved Beholding Her Beauty in the Mirror'. The painting, and its supposed voluptuousness, caused an instant sensation at the time although it was never exhibited, having been snapped up by Prince Andrin.

The painting is a favorite of Harsin IV and in fact hangs in his study in Tremont Keep.
