Beauty Revealed is an 1828 self-portrait watercolor by the American artist Sarah Goodridge (pictured). Depicting Goodridge's bared breasts surrounded by white cloth, the portrait miniature is painted on a piece of ivory. It was originally backed with paper and is now in a modern frame. Goodridge presented the breasts as youthful and individualized, employing a frontal view that showed the area from the collarbone to just underneath the breasts. She gave the portrait to statesman Daniel Webster, who was a frequent subject and possible lover, following the death of his wife; she may have intended to provoke him into marrying her. Although Webster married someone else, his family held onto the portrait until the 1980s, when it was auctioned at Christie's and purchased by Gloria and Richard Manney. The painting was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2006. It has been read as a work of erotica, as well as an expression of Goodridge's confident sexuality. (Full article...)
