Inspired by the strong focus on portraits in the Garman Ryan Collection, this temporary exhibition brings together a selection of artworks from the Gallery’s Permanent Collection. These artworks demonstrate how different themes and ideas can be conveyed and presented through portraiture. The works also vary in scale and media.
