Miniature Portraits: Leila Waring focuses on a group of 20th century Gibbes miniatures by Leila Waring (1876-1964), an artist who actively promoted a re-birth of this 18th and 19th century style portraiture. While many of Waring's miniatures are of family members, she also undertook commissions from other Charlestonians and from visitors to the city. Her style reflects a preference for a light palette, visual brushwork and informal poses.
