Original Description
The miniature watercolor portrait Beulah Appleton (c. 1830) by American folk artist Sarah Goodridge (1788–1853) exudes quiet elegance, capturing its young subject with remarkable intimacy. Rendered in delicate brushstrokes, the adolescent girl’s serene gaze and softly curled hair reflect Goodridge’s mastery of the miniature form—a genre highly prized in early 19th-century America for personal keepsakes. Unlike her famed self-portrait for statesman Daniel Webster, this work epitomizes Goodridge’s sensitive portrayals of everyday women, blending Neoclassical refinement with folk art’s honesty. Though lesser-known than her male contemporaries, Goodridge was among the first professional female miniaturists in the U.S., making this piece historically significant as both a charming artifact and a testament to women’s early contributions to American art.
For display, this miniature’s muted earth tones and sentimental aura suit traditional or rustic-chic interiors. Frame it in a gilded oval frame to honor its era, placing it on a writing desk or powder-room wall where its intricate details can be admired up close. In modern spaces, pair it with other small-format works in a salon-style arrangement, ensuring neutral backgrounds let its warm sepia and ivory palette shine. At just a few inches tall, it’s ideal for creating intimate focal points—consider flanking it with tapered candles or a sprig of dried lavender to enhance its vintage charm. For offices, position it near leather-bound books or a wooden inkwell to evoke scholarly refinement.
