Synopsis

At the end of nineteenth century in US, the painter Byron Sullivan paints his wife Vanessa. When Vanessa is killed in an accident, Sullivan is inconsolable and no longer wants to paint. But one day, looking at a portrait showing his wife in the garden, the image disappears and Vanessa herself suddenly appears in the garden. Thereafter, Vanessa reappears whenever she is painted, until the day Sullivan finds himself at an exhibition of his wife's portraits. A veiled woman in black approaches him - it is Vanessa.
