Their smile widened when it seemed the wife was prepared to pay more or less any price for the commission. Five figures sums flashed through Leonora's mind but of course not. They could not charge such prices, not yet anyway.<br/>"It would depend largely on a few rather concrete premises, such as for instance the size of the portrait and the time allotted for its completion, the number of sessions needed with the model," they said looking from one to the other realising of course that the husband had asked about the potential cost of a portrait to make sure his enthusiastic wife wasn't going to ruin them financially for the next decade or so.<br/><br/>They then went on to explain what they had imagined for a portrait of the couple, a full size nude set against a brightly lit pond surrounded by an otherwise dark forest, his hands against her skin, the contrast of the two. They talked about how they imagined their bodies still being wet from a swim in the pond, adding that this might mean they would have to shower before each session.<br/>"No worries though. The studio is quite well heated so there will be no risk of catching a cold. As for the price of such a painting I might have a suggestion I think can work in all our favours. I'm always looking for models for these large scale paintings and if you both agree to also pose for my next large group canvas I'll do the portrait of you both as I just described it for seven fifty, sounds fair?"
