The paintings featured in this book, include portraits of famous sitters, such as Juliet Stevenson and John Humphrys, self-portraits of the artists themselves and commissioned paintings of Hilary Mantel and Sophie Dahl.

A Little Book of Portraits reveals the skills behind the artist's brush that makes timeless and inventive portraiture.
