This episode of Heroine City uncovers the private world of portrait miniatures, focusing on the women who played a role in their creation, exchange, and preservation. These intimate paintings—once worn close to the heart or kept as cherished keepsakes—tell us much more than meets the eye.

Join host Lynsey Shaw and guest, curator and art historian, Emma Rutherford, as they uncover how portrait miniatures reveal hidden insights into women’s lives, their expressions of love, memory, and identity, and the artistry that shaped these miniature masterpieces.
