Это американская художница Сара Гудридж, которая нарисовала портрет собственной груди и отправила его юристу и политику Дэниелу Вебстеру, он в то время как раз недавно овдовел.
Это считается самым ранним случаем отправки нюдса(?) в истории... Отношения у них потом так и не сложились. Но свои портреты он у неё заказывал.

Description and context
Beauty Revealed is a self-portrait by Sarah Goodridge, depicting her bared breasts,[2] pink nipples,[1] and a beauty mark.[3] These are presented in a gradation of color, giving a three-dimensional effect.[1] Although Goodridge was aged forty when she painted this miniature, according to art critic Chris Packard her breasts seem younger, with a "balance, paleness, and buoyancy" which is imbued in part by the harmony of light, color, and balance.[1] The breasts are framed by a swirl of pale cloth, which in parts reflects the light.[1][3]
The 6.7-by-8-centimeter (2.6 by 3.1 in) painting is set in a case;[4] it had originally been installed on a paper backing which had the date "1828" on the reverse.[5] The work is a watercolor painting on ivory,[6] thin enough for light to shine through and thus allow the depicted breasts to "glow".[1] This medium was common for American miniatures,[7] but in this case also served as a simile for the flesh presented upon it.[3]
Beauty Revealed was completed during a period of popularity of portrait miniatures, a medium which had been introduced in the United States in the late 18th century. By the time Goodridge completed her self-portrait, miniatures were increasing in complexity and vibrance.[7] The Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History describes Beauty Revealed as a play on the eye miniatures which were then popular as tokens of affection in England and France, but not common in the United States.[6][8] Such miniatures allowed portraits of loved ones to be carried by their suitors without revealing the sitters' identities.[8]

Date: 2023-08-12 07:37 pm (UTC)Packard wrote that Beauty Revealed served as a sort of visual synecdoche, representing the entirety of Goodridge through her breasts. As opposed to the "burdened" 1845 self-portrait and the non-eroticized one of 1830, he found Beauty Revealed to forefront Goodridge and her demand for attention. Arguing that the clothing surrounding her breasts served to indicate a performance (similar to the curtains of vaudeville), Packard described the viewer's eyes being focused on the breasts, while the rest of Goodridge's body was erased and abstracted.[1] This, he stated, challenged the assumptions and stereotypes regarding the demure, homebound 19th-century woman.[1]
