Summary "Elle et lui" by George Sand is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers on Laurent, a young painter, and Thérèse Jacques, an accomplished female artist, who share a complex friendship filled with artistic ambition, personal struggles, and unspoken emotions. Their correspondence reveals their thoughts on art, society, and their own desires, hinting at an underlying tension fueled by jealousy and the nature of love. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Laurent, who is in correspondence with Thérèse, discussing his encounters with an English gentleman who wants his portrait painted. Laurent expresses his frustrations with the art world and his self-doubt regarding his abilities. Thérèse replies with concern for his well-being and hints at the financial implications of turning down the Englishman's request. As the two characters exchange letters, their dynamic is explored, revealing Laurent's conflicting feelings about his friendship with Thérèse, as well as her mysterious past. This opening sets the stage for themes of artistic integrity, romantic entanglements, and the societal pressures faced by the protagonists, drawing readers into their intricate relationship.
