Portrait of Lizzie Magie

“Portrait of Lizzie Magie” Pastel on paper, 11 x 14 in. I saw a documentary about the history of the board game Monopoly and discovered that it was actually invented by Lizzie Magie. Not only that, but her original game was called The Landlord’s Game, and instead of celebrating Capitalism, is was a rather harsh criticism of it. I was inspired by her and decided to do her portrait.
