The YCBA, in partnership with Compton Verney, hosts a symposium to increase understanding of the painting “Two Women Wearing Cosmetic Patches” (ca. 1655). Topics include the painting’s provenance, attribution, and future display; the cloth trade in seventeenth-century England, Africa, and India; and evolving perceptions of beauty standards, including a keynote conversation focusing on cosmetic patches.
