Author/Artist: Samantha Hahn

Samantha Hahn is an illustrator best known for her lovely watercolors. Her work has been featured internationally, and now she has a book of her very own.

Well-Read Women is her new collection of portraits of literature’s leading ladies. They are some of Hahn’s favorite heroines, and no doubt beloved by many others.

Each page contains a watercolor portrait, with a facing page featuring a hand painted quote from the book that the character is in. Hahn aims not only to capture her own mental image of each character, but to produce an image that exudes what it fundamental to each woman’s personality.

This is one for art and book lovers alike.

My favorites are Holly Golightly, Molly Bloom, Nancy Drew, Emma Bovary, and Antigone.
