Summary
Character study of Basil Hallward.

Basil would sit on his chaise longue, looking at his vapid work wondering if he'd been broken for good this time – if he will ever paint well again or he'd become a shell of the artist he once was. He even cried once, bitter and angry tears of self-pity and apprehension while assessing his latest work completely devoid of any soul. Like Icarus he now experienced the aftermath of the fall. His limbs were broken and his skin covered in wax burns. He had to paint. Who was he without his art?
