Maggie O’Farrell on Lucrezia de’ Medici
Monday 15th January 2024
Quote of the day: “She has no sense of what she wants to do: write a letter, draw, read, commit a verse to memory. She just knows that sitting here, in front of her desk box, with its cargo of ink and charcoal and penknife and paper and brushes, brings her a peace that she can find nowhere else.” (Maggie O’Farrell’s The Marriage Portrait)
