    Toward the end of the 18th century, portraits of a single eye of a loved one became fashionable among the British nobility and aristocracy, a trend that soon spread all over Europe. Given as a token of affection, this unusual type of portraiture was most often painted in watercolor on ivory and mounted in jewelry, such as pins, brooches, lockets, and bracelets. This exhibition will present over 30 eye portraits, all from the collection of artist Jamie Wyeth.
