Through the centuries portraiture and the printmaking arts have formed a strong connection. At the highest level such master printmakers as Durer, Rembrandt, Francisco Goya, James McNeill Whistler and Pablo Picasso created engraved, etched or lithographic portraits and self-portraits that rank as world masterworks. Such is the lasting power of the printed portrait that even in the more non-representational schools of twentieth century art, such as cubism, fauvism and futurism, one will find many examples of this discipline.

In the seventeenth century portrait engravers were as highly esteemed as painters, and the most successful often led their lives alongside royalty. This was particularly true in France where such engravers as Robert Nanteul, Antoine Masson and Gerard Edelinck enjoyed huge reputations. To the north, in Antwerp, such fine engravers as Paulis Pontius, Lucas Vorsterman and Robert van Voerst worked under the guidance of Anthony van Dyck for the creation of the brilliant set known as the Iconography.

During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries many new forms of printmaking were invented. The mezzotint dominated 18th century portraiture, while the lithograph, soft ground and stipple engraving & the woodcut all produced fine examples of portraiture in the nineteenth century. Twentieth century portraits and self-portraits listed on this page include examples by such distinct artists as Frederick Carter, Ludwig Mickalek , Anton Faistauer and Sidney Chafetz. Important drawings, paintings and watercolors such as, Paul Travis's 'Lumbwa Tribesman', Violeta Janes's portraits and Arieh Merzer's Portrat study, in these mediums are also included.
