Collection: Portraiture

Conversations Across Time

More than mere likenesses, portraits are intimate conversations across centuries—stories told through expression, gesture, and the quiet symbols tucked into a sleeve, resting on a table's corner, or hidden in the background. Each portrait in this collection captures not just a face, but a moment in history, a personality frozen in time, and the artistic vision that brought it to life.

From Renaissance Masters to Modern Voices

Journey through five centuries of portraiture, from Hans Holbein the Younger's meticulous Tudor masterpieces to contemporary interpretations that bridge past and present. Discover the Northern Renaissance's unflinching realism in works by the schools of Hans Memling and Nicolaes Pickenoy, where every wrinkle and fabric fold reveals truth. Explore the Dutch Golden Age's celebration of merchant prosperity, the Gothic tradition's spiritual intensity, and the playful wit of modern artists reimagining historical styles.

The Mitford Sisters: A Family Portrait

Experience the complete saga of the legendary Mitford family—six sisters and one brother whose lives embodied the 20th century's dramatic extremes. From Nancy's literary brilliance to Unity's tragic devotion to Hitler, from Jessica's muckraking journalism to Deborah's transformation of Chatsworth, each portrait reveals a different facet of this extraordinary family that fascinated a generation.

Symbols, Status, and Stories

Every element in these portraits carries meaning. Birds symbolize the soul or eloquence. Books and letters reveal learning and sophistication. Clothing and jewelry display wealth and taste.
