Synopsis
Through stormy seas the artist makes his way to a new country, where he gives all his substance to relieve a beggar. He tries to barter his artwork for a meal, only to be met with derision. But a mysterious stranger buys his art, and gives him a brush which has been used by great artists throughout the ages. The artist joyously signs a contract for the brush.
