This book brings together fifty exquisite observational portrait drawings from the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Dürer, Bernini, Carracci, Clouet, Rubens, and Holbein. More than a record of appearance, these works capture a moment of connection between artist and sitter: an encounter. This book includes illuminating essays on drawing practice by the Gallery's Curatorial Director Tarnya Cooper, and on the collecting of portrait drawings in Britain by Jeremy Wood.
