A unique figure from the annals of art history has found sudden success on the auction block, with a small watercolor by Victorian miniature painter Sarah Biffin nearly doubling its high estimate of £5,000 ($6,680) to sell for £9,000 ($12,023) at Sworders Fine Art Auctioneers in the U.K.
The artist, who was born without arms or legs, was a member of a traveling a circus in England, where she was billed as “The Limbless Wonder.”
If you open the link you can look at some of her other works. Unlike someone, name of Hunter who used his cocaine laced lips to paint garbage, this lady gave us magic by using her lips.https://news.artnet.com/market/sarah-biffin-2051895
