James in the Art Studio - "The Real Thing" (1x6)

Air date: Jan 01, 2008

The work of Henry James is the epitome of 19th-century Realism. Using as his source an anecdote about an aristocratic couple and an artist, James creates a unique piece of short fiction that questions the distinction between appearance and reality and raises profound questions about the social order of his day.
