The best way to understand lovers’ eyes, it turns out, is via another contemporaneous miniature, which is pointedly not an eye, but a tiny painting of two breasts. Beauty Revealed is the anomaly that lays bare the pattern. The self-portrait was gifted by one of the most famed miniaturists of her day, Sarah Goodridge, to her lover, the politician Daniel Webster. It’s a heady gift of flesh, swathed like the baby Jesus, both delicate and campy, the tiniest of flaws (the mole, the asymmetry) in service of beauty made more perfect. Here I am. Don’t forget. Take me. Goodridge must have decided an eye was entirely too coy and cryptic.
