Studies the function of the portrait in European art in the context of changing political and social conditions in the 19th and 20th cs. Focuses on the impact of the French Revolution and the extension of the subject matter of portraits to include regional images of rural people. Argues that it is not merely the individual that is the subject but that social class and profession, regionality, and race are the essential subjects. Examples are mainly French and Portuguese paintings, 1850s to early 20th c.
