This or That Gothic Edition Snippet 21- Portrait Gallery
Inspired by my answers for this post by @blackrosesandwhump!
Whumpee followed Whumper through their mansion, taking in the sight with awe.
“Your home is beautiful, Whumper,” Whumpee said.
“Thank you,” Whumper said warmly, “I had been wanting to invite you for some time, but I still had to finish my portrait gallery.”
As Whumper spoke, they opened a pair of ornate doors to a long hallway. On the walls were several paintings, each more detailed than the last. Whumpee’s heart slowly dropped to their stomach when they noticed what they all had in common.
“Whumper…” they started, “why are all these paintings of me?”
Whumper’s hand came to rest on their shoulder.
“Because you are perfect, my little muse,” Whumper purred in their ear, “and now that I have you, my work can only improve.”
Whumpee opened their mouth to argue, but a sharp pinch in their neck turned their would-be sentence into a pained yelp.
“Forgive me, Whumpee,” Whumper said softly, “but I’ve been preparing for this for too long for you to slip out of my grasp now.”
Whumpee’s breathing came in short and fast. They stumbled out of Whumper’s grip and whirled around to face them.
“You’re not…keeping me…here,” Whumpee said with great effort.
Whumpee tried to run back to the doors, but their knees buckled after two steps. Whumper caught them quite easily.
“Shh,” they soothed, “it’s going to be alright. I promise you, you’ll love it here.”
Whumpee couldn’t find the energy to argue, or even struggle. Their eyes fluttered shut and they drifted off just as Whumper began to carry them out of the gallery.

More Gautierposting!
to my delight, a Medallion portrait I don’t think I’ve seen before-- from David d’Angers, 1845 (wiki doesn’t name the date but it’s in the medallion!)
and to my absolute delight, a “ study of Théophile Gautier and Marie Favart in Roman costumes “ by Gustave Boulanger, in 1861 !

At last it arrested her – and she beheld a striking resemblance to Mr. Darcy, with such a smile over the face as she remembered to have sometimes seen when he looked at her.
