The word 'portrait' is, to many people, evocative of those posed formal studies of the nobility adorning the walls of stately homes across Europe and beyond. Yet portraiture in its broadest sense surely encompasses all attempts at depicting the human form, character and condition - a seemingly inexhaustible subject that has fascinated both artist and writers throughout history.
