About This Book

A historical and technical survey of the art of small-scale painted portraiture, tracing its origins from early outline and profile work through developments in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The author describes materials and methods, compares stylistic tendencies, and profiles leading practitioners while illustrating representative examples in both colour and monotone plates. Discussions cover attribution, collectors and provenance, and the ways individual miniatures reflect broader artistic and social fashions, with descriptive notes that accompany the illustrated catalogue of notable examples.
