In this survey the aim has been to show what has been contributed to the art of each age and by each nationality as well as by the several most notable portrait painters. The work sketches history, temperament and types, throwing sidelights on subjects as well as painters. Some famous portraits are included among the illustrations.
“The ability ... to hold the reader’s interest by a crisp style, and by a skilful presentation of salient points and large issues, is evident throughout the book, which is an unusually satisfactory example of its class.”
