Artwork #5: Artwork #5: “What Alice Cogswell Really Looks Like” Painting Size 11 x 14 inch; Medium: Oil on Canvas The silhouette of Alice Cogswell is the only existing image of Alice. There is no painting or drawing that shows what she looked like.

I became fascinated with the silhouette of Alice Cogswell and pointed either of some creative images of her.
