Throughout history man has been preoccupied by his own image, & by the desire to record himself for posterity. This intriguing book traces the history of potrait-painting, from relatively unknown siters such as the Mona Lisa, to such rich & important personages as Kings & Queens. Portraits of children have a particular charm, while self-portraits are a whole category in themselves. This volume provides a fascinating record of portraits over the centuries.
