Synopsis

Sixteen handsome portraits in color and 85 in black-and-white comprise this choice original collection by a select group of world-famous artists. Spanning three centuries of portrait drawings by great masters, the color works include, among others, Peter Paul Ruben's Young Woman with Crossed Hands, Dante Gabriel Rossetti's Aurea Catena (Portrait of Mrs. Morris), and Pierre Auguste Renoir's Portrait of Cézanne. Equally striking black-and-white plates depict studies by Matisse, Bellini, Gauguin, Delacroix, van Gogh, Shiele, Degas, and other masters.
Both groups of color and black-and-white studies are arranged alphabetically by artist. A list of illustrations includes the title, size of each portrait, and medium in which it was done. Captions cite title and artist's name.
