Editor: So, this portrait by an artist from the British School depicts Endymion Porter. It's diminutive, almost like a miniature world! What stories do you think are hiding in the fine lines of this engraving? Curator: Oh, I see a dandy! A man of the court, perhaps. But it's the subtle shading that pulls me in. Makes me wonder, was he as at ease as he appears, or was there a hidden unease etched beneath that carefully cultivated image? Editor: I hadn't considered that possibility. The lace collar seems so flamboyant, a real statement. Curator: Exactly! A statement concealing what, though? That's the delightful puzzle. Perhaps he’s not so different from us; we all have our carefully constructed personas. Editor: That's a very good point. Food for thought. Curator: Indeed, isn’t it wonderful how a tiny engraving can open up such vast avenues of reflection?
