delighted to be hosting another U3A study
day to explore the many facets of
portraiture. “Face Value” will focus upon
portraits and self-portraits in the National
Gallery’s collection.
The meeting will introduce key themes and

provide you with a well-rounded experience
of various and fascinating aspects of
