A Museum Curator Heads to Ireland to Search a Painting's History in Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' 'Love's Portrait'
A museum curator is shocked when a painting sent by an anonymous donor is seemingly a mirror image of herself!
One of my all-time favorite films is Somewhere in Time starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve. In it, a present-day playwright is visited by an old woman who gives him a pocket watch and a cryptic message. He later becomes enamored with a Victorian-era image of a woman and learns it's the same woman who visited him previously.
In Hallmark Movies & Mysteries latest film, Love's Portrait, a museum curator discovers a painting that is the spitting image of herself and travels to Ireland to find out more about it. The film features two deaf characters.
Here's everything we know about Love's Portrait including a Parade.com exclusive sneak peek.

When Lily (Aubrey Reynolds), a museum curator comes across a painting that looks just like her, she is sent to Ireland in search of its provenance. While there her search leads her to the local post office run by siblings William (Richard McWilliams) and Saoirse (Kathryn McKiernan).
They offer their help, but William knows more than he’s letting on. He must decide if he’ll reveal what he knows, even if it puts at risk the growing feelings, he and Lily have for each other.
