In keeping with the emotional symbolism of miniatures, couples frequently exchanged these tokens to mark an engagement or wedding, as was the case for Elizabeth Stirling (1811\u20131900) and Erasmus Darwin Foote (1808\u20131866), who married in March 1833. (Accession no. 16.687.2, in Drawer 47A, is the companion miniature.) The artist, Thomas Seir Cummings of New York, was the most famous miniaturist of his day and also taught and published on the subject. Contemporary critics praised his works for their ability to \u201craise sensations in the bosoms of those who gaze on them.\u201dObject metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
