“L’Origine got me hooked—what a story! Milgrom brings the reader right along on her adventures as a copyist of one of the most well-known paintings in all the world.” —Harriet Welty Rochefort, author of French Fried, French Toast, Joie de Vivre, and Final Transgression
The riveting odyssey of one of the world’s most scandalous works of art.
In 1866, maverick French artist Gustave Courbet painted one of the most iconic images in the history of art: a sexually explicit portrait of a woman’s exposed genitals. Audaciously titled L’Origine du monde (The Origin of the World), the scandalous painting was kept hidden for a century and a half. Today, it hangs in the world-renowned Orsay Museum in Paris, viewed by millions of visitors a year.
As the first artist authorized by the Orsay Museum to re-create Courbet’s The Origin of the World, author Lilianne Milgrom was thrust into the painting’s intimate orbit, spending six weeks replicating every fold, crevice, and pubic hair. The experience inspired her to share her story and the painting’s riveting clandestine history with readers beyond the confines of the art world.
L’Origine is an entertaining and superbly researched work of historical fiction that traces the true story of the painting’s unlikely tale of survival, replete with French revolutionaries, Turkish pashas, and nefarious Nazi captains. But L’Origine is more than a riveting romp

Keeps skin moisturized like a lotion
This is quite a lot larger than I thought it would be when I picked it. It's sized like a lotion bottle. My skin can get dry sometimes, especially in the winter so I picked this up to help prevent it from cracking. This is working well so far.
It's unscented which is what I prefer. I'm not fond of scented oils or lotions on my face and hands. This works very well as a lotion. It melts and absorbs into the skin without leaving any extra color or residue. There's a little bit of a oil sheen to it, but it doesn't stand out. It does not have the oil or grease feeling to it which is great.
It's worked really well this winter. My hands and face are moisturized and looking great. I got this in December 2025 and it expires October 2028. I'll probably use it up before it expires.

Amazingly good
This by far, is the very best product and formulation that I've ever used on my face. I have super sensitive skin and have tried three different brands before trying this. The others I've tried, either had a beefy smell after a little while or contained essential oils that irritated my skin. I almost gave up. This was my last try and I'm so glad I gave it a chance. Absolutely no smell and no irritating essential oils or ingredients. It is very soothing and absorbs completely. Thank you Veakoo!! I will definitely keep using this and will be purchasing more. This is a wonderful product and has helped sooo much!
