What is the Duchess reading?

 






Who is this mysterious lady full of morals and absent from important Alice adaptations? We know that the original Victorian Tenniel's illustration was influenced by Quentin Matsys's painting "The Ugly Duchess" displayed at The National Gallery in London. Now, five centuries since Massys completed his painting and 150 years after Tenniel’s interpretation, the portrait has been reassessed as neither an old woman nor a duchess, but actually as a male transvestite! Asked about what the Duchess should be reading, we build a profile of an intriguing reader, interested in the biography of famous nobles like the Duchess of Devonshire, and the discussion about political philosophy with Machiavelli. She reveals interest in gastronomy and alchemy! Also a secret aim to live a romantic love. With the kitchen-fiction of 'Like water for chocolate', she finds 'a novel in parts with recipes, loves and home remedies', everything revolves around the kitchen of love and heartbreaks, laughter and tears.
