Circa.
2003.
Hardback.
Large format.
Nearly fine condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper.
A fascinating overview of portraiture in all its manifestations: individual and group portraits; official and casual settings; sitters ranging from the famous to the anonymous; renderings of lovers, friends, and family; artists' powerful depictions of themselves; idealized visions along with warts-and-all realism. Large format. Red cloth boards, blind titles. Colour illustrations throughout. A hefty volume. ISBN: 0810945398. 2nd printing. A lovely copy in a pictorial dustwrapper which is lightly faded in places.
