A Comedy of Masks follows a young artist in a bustling dockyard circle, where ambition, charm, and talk of shows mix with the chatter of studio life by the river.

Set among artists, patrons, and a lively bohemia, this story centers on Lightmark, a promising painter who sketches the riverfront and its people while balancing friendships, rivalries, and the lure of success. The scene is saturated with social intrigue, witty banter, and the costumes of a world where art, reputation, and romance intertwine.

Meet a rising painter drawn to the riverfront’s moods and the fall of the daylight over ships and warehouses.
Enjoy the lively, witty exchanges among artists, patrons, and rivals in a bustling studio culture.
Watch social manners and art-world rivalries unfold with humor and sharp observation.
Discover a setting where bohemian life clashes with conventional expectations and Parisian influence.

Ideal for readers who enjoy character-driven fiction set in an early 20th‑century art world, with humor and atmosphere to spare.
