Maria Cosway, Italian born artist who captured the heart of American Minister to France, Thomas Jefferson in 1786 while he was abroad. Mrs. Cosway was a well known miniaturist painter married to Richard Cosway (also a famous miniaturist). This Modern Lulu First Edition is an artists catalog of both the works of Maria Cosway and her foppish husband Richard. To understand Thomas Jefferson you only have to read his 'Head & Heart' letter he wrote to Mrs. Cosway and the picture (in miniature of course) comes clear.
