Diminutive marvels of artistry and fine craftsmanship, portrait miniatures reveal a wealth of information within their small frames. This book presents approximately 180 portrait miniatures, selected from the holdings of the Cincinnati Art Museum. It includes both American and European miniatures and stresses the continuity of stylistic tradition.

In the Gilded Age, when most sculptors aspired to produce monuments, Bessie Potter Vonnoh (1872-1955) made significant contributions to small bronze sculpture and garden statuary designed for the embellishment of the home. Her work commanded admiration for her fluid and suggestive modeling, graceful lines, and sculptural form.
