One could use the Rectangle function.  An example of this
is given in Section 5.2 (pages 114-116) of the book Applied Mathematica,
Getting
It Started Getting It Done, by Shaw and Tigg.

An example:

Plot1=Plot[Sin[x],{x,0,2Pi}];
Plot2=Plot[2x^2+5x, {x,0,2Pi}];
Show[Graphics[{Rectangle[{0,0},{1,1},Plot1],
        Rectangle[{0.55,0.45},{0.95,0.9},Plot2]}]];

How to display one (complete) plot as an inset (maybe scaled, certainly
offset) within (or on top of) another plot?

Kind of a

    Show[ plot1, {Scaled[0.5], Offset[{2,2}], plot2} ]

capability.
