Abstract
"Miniature portraits have neither sustained consistent interest nor experienced intense revivals. They comprise a branch of art which is frequently connected with the saccharine and superficial, with the petty and precious. Indeed, the term miniature often connotes a judgment of quality rather than an indication of size. Yet, these "paintings in little" have much to offer, for they reveal a dexterity, a sensitivity to materials and subject matter, and a perceptivity about the psychological dimension reflected in the human face which is quite remarkable."--First paragraph.
