OriginalBeauty Revealed, a self-portrait by Sarah Goodridge completed in 1828, when she was 40 years old. It was gifted to Daniel Webster, and his family hold that the two were engaged (though he ended up marrying a wealthier woman).
Reason
A very interesting self-portrait. Very personal, powerful. Yes, this may also require an RFC before going on the main page, but I think we can all recognize that this is a good digitization of the miniature (only 6.7 cm × 8 cm (2.6 in × 3.1 in)). Watercolor on ivory, which has to be one of the more unique mediums I've seen.
