Styles in Portraiture

About the exhibition

Northern Virginia Fine Arts Association presented Styles in Portraiture in Alexandria, Virginia in 1972. The documented selection includes drawings and paintings, with particular surviving works identified in the museum histories. Documented examples include Alphonse Legros’s Portrait of a Woman (1875; oil on canvas) and Peter Gertner’s Pfalzgraf Friedrich III (1539; pen and brown ink over black chalk, with face and hands developed in oil (?) on vellum (?) laid on canvas). The reconstructed checklist is partial, and exact opening and closing days remain unverified.
