Sarah Biffin was a 19th century painter famous for her impeccable miniature paintings, realistic artworks whose practically microscopic details were lauded as being some of the best in technique and style of her time. She spent many years in the circus until she gained wealthy patrons, including the queen herself. Sarah also happened to have been born without legs or arms - which only made her obvious talents that much more incredible. Her skills were hard won and surpassed many of her contemporaries, regardless of her physical differences, and she is remembered as one of the best miniaturist painters of her time.
