About the piece
Painted in 1828 by American artist Sarah Goodridge, this watercolor on ivory is a strikingly intimate self-portrait. Known as 'Beauty Revealed,' the work captures the soft luminosity of skin and the delicate textures of white drapery with masterly precision, representing a rare and bold expression of female self-perception in early American art.
