Join John Smart: Virtuoso in Miniature curatorial contributors and Spencer Art Reference Library staff in discussing Jane Austen’s final book Persuasion, whose heroine gets a second chance at love. This highly acclaimed portrayal of British life, first published in 1817, is not only a fan-favorite but also describes the company and patrons the portrait miniaturist John Smart could have kept and even mentions painted miniatures.
