专家说明

This unusual and fascinating album was probably a sort of working portfolio. It contains the extraordinary number of 645 miniature portraits, most of them drawn only in graphite, with a handful enriched with wash and watercolors. 232 are portraits of men with 31 of them in military attire. Another 131 are female portraits, and twenty depictions of children. Other drawings show only the main features of the face, leaving undescribed the sitter’s hair and attire.
