Multifaceted and in constant evolution, the genre of portrait always kept its attraction for collectors. In painting or sculpture, a portrait can represent a real, heroic, famous character or a fictional character from the artist's imagination.

By definition, the portrait evolves over time, since it most often represents characters of its time, but artists have also been able to reinvent it by following the styles and trends of time.

Portraits often moved away from the physical representation of the model to better focus on the psychology, interiority and feelings of the character represented. Even today, portraits are vectors of societal messages, sometimes political or historical, and often tend towards the universality of feeling.
