The Oval Portrait (1910)

Pierre,a marquis, is madly in love with his dear wife Jeanne whose picture he is painting; one day while hunting in the woods, the husband accidentally kills his beloved one. He's desperate to finish the portrait so he uses other models but none of them can touch his late wife's beauty. Six months later he meets Madeleine who resembles his dear departed. It's not long before she understands her rival is a picture and she tries more and more to look like Jeanne.
