Description
Portraits are important and useful historical sources. At first glance, they can appear to be a simple picture of a person or people. But by looking closely, and asking analytical questions about what you can see, what can be inferred and the wider context of the portrait, they can provide important evidence to help us understand the past.
Follow our guide to help you learn how to use portraits as a historical source and see what more you can discover.
