Honore de Balzac 
Cousin Pons (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

In this 1847 novel, often seen as a companion piece to Balzac’s Cousin Bette, Sylvain Pons is a musician who despite modest means has amassed a valuable collection of art. Only after a wealthy cousin banishes him as her guest does she learn of the collection—and becomes one of many who would like to get their thieving hands on it.
