Biography

The Sculpture, Revenge, And Fenlai'S Fall

At roughly one hundred eighty years old, Count Juneau visits the Proulx Gallery almost every day and has learned to judge a sculpture by the feeling and spirit within it. He notices the merit in Linley's early work, participates in the serious discussion and bidding around the young artist, and later greets him as a respected noble acquaintance. His role remains peaceful and evaluative, providing an experienced audience for Linley's emergence rather than joining the political violence surrounding it. (Chapters 52–53, 106, 124–125)
