Every painted portrait represents a struggle to understand the relationship between the self and another embodied human individual. A need to interrogate the possibility of knowing another person. To settle once and for all the extent to which a painted portrait can represent the interiority of the sitter, the projected sense of self of the artist, or indeed that of the viewer who is the indispensable third actor in the drama of portraiture.
