This heart-shaped brooch, which secures William Duguid’s ruffled shirt in a portrait (2010.105) by Prince Demah Barnes, descended in the family of the sitter. Brooches of this type were popular accessories in eighteenth-century England and America and were customarily set with deep red garnets, a gemstone associated with love.
