"Beauty Revealed" is a miniature watercolor painting created by American artist Sarah Goodridge in 1828. The artwork is a self-portrait that depicts a close-up view of a woman's bare breasts, painted with remarkable detail and realism. Measuring only 6.7 by 8.3 centimeters, the painting is executed on a small piece of ivory, a common medium for miniatures of that period.

Sarah Goodridge was a prominent miniaturist in the early 19th century, known for her delicate and precise portraits. "Beauty Revealed" is believed to have been a personal gift for the statesman Daniel Webster, with whom Goodridge had a close relationship. The painting is often interpreted as an intimate gesture, reflecting the personal connection between the artist and the recipient.

The composition of "Beauty Revealed" is notable for its simplicity and focus. The background is left plain, drawing attention to the subject's skin tones and the subtle play of light and shadow. Goodridge's technique showcases her skill in capturing texture and form, making the painting both a technical and emotional achievement.

"Beauty Revealed" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its boldness. During a time when such personal and intimate depictions were rare, especially by a female artist, the painting stands out as a unique expression of femininity and vulnerability. It challenges the conventions of its era, offering insight into the private lives and emotions of women in the 19th century.

Today, "Beauty Revealed" is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to intrigue and captivate viewers with its blend of artistry and personal narrative. The painting remains an important example of early American art and the complex dynamics of gender and personal expression.
