Portrait Miniatures from the National Galleries of Scotland by Stephen Lloyd

Portrait Miniatures from the National Galleries of Scotland by Stephen Lloyd

The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, part of the National Galleries of Scotland, provides a unique visual history of Scotland, told through portraits of the figures who shaped it: royals and rebels, poets and philosophers, heroes and villains. The Gallery is home to Scotland's collection of portrait miniatures which date from the mid-sixteenth century to the present day. This book illustrates a selection of works by key miniaturists and features portraits of many important Scottish historical figures such as James Hepburn 4th Earl of Bothwell, the third husband of Mary, Queen of Scots, James VI and I and Robert Burns who was depicted in the last year of his life. A complete list of all the works in the collection is also included.

Dr Stephen Lloyd is senior curator at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh, where he has worked since 1993. He received a doctorate in 1997 from Oxford University on the subject of the Regency artists, Richard and Maria Cosway. He has since developed a specialisation in portrait miniatures and has published three books on this area.
