About this work

You see a small, oval portrait of a woman named Leonora Elizabeth Phipard, painted in soft colors. She wears a high-collared dress and looks straight ahead, her expression calm. This is a bookplate—an owner’s mark pasted inside a book. Most were mass-produced, but this one feels personal, like it was made just for her. The artist’s name is lost, but the care in the details suggests someone who knew her. To see more quiet, personal portraits like this, visit The Cleveland Museum of Art.
