We have created this online curation as part of a nationwide celebration of portraiture for the reopening of the National Portrait Gallery in London and to mark International Portrait Day.
The curation explores a selection of self-portraits, held in Jerwood Collection, which span over 100 years in their creation. These works offer insights into the artists' lives, surroundings and state of mind.
