  Titian
The Capodimonte triple portrait of Pope Paul III Farnese with his nephews Alessandro and Ottavio illuminates the personality of that Pope and the politics of the Holy See in the mid-1540s further and better than any document or contemporary account written by some ambassador.
And so one is justified in the belief that in Titian's portraits the pope and the emperor, the doge and the Marquis of Mantua, recognized themselves not only in the flesh, but also in the guise of all that they represented.
This is the case, for example in the famous canvas of Pope Paul III Farnese with his nephews and the Pierluigi Farnese: the latter is enclosed in his armor, his face devastated by disease but imprinted with fervent resolution, an image full of drama that is "almost Shakespearean in its intensity" (Pallucchini).

 Newsvine - Colo. Asked to Return Clinton Portrait
DENVER — The National Archives and Records Administration wants the portrait of President Clinton now hanging at the State Capitol returned, but a brewing fight to keep it has united a Democrat and Republican, if only temporarily.
The portrait has been on loan to the state for about 10 years, but the archives wants it back as it tightens up its loan requirements.
Forty of the portraits were given to the state by Harry Sullivan and his wife and the portrait of George W. Bush, which hangs next to Clinton's, was donated by the Stroehle family from Black Hawk.

Today, portraits are created in all mediums, from painting to images created from sequenced DNA.

 National Portrait Gallery | Research | Archive documents | Manuscripts Collection
Manuscripts that relate to portraits represented in the Gallery's collections are of particular interest because they offer primary documentary evidence and context for the identity, authenticity, interpretation and understanding of those portraits.
Records of sittings with an artist, receipts for payment, studio inventories and the papers of executors of artists' and collectors' estates, document the existence and, occasionally, aid the identification of portraits.
In order to document the process of making portraits and to record something of the experience of the sittings, artists who receive commissions from the Gallery are encouraged to keep a diary, in a format of their choice, which is acquired with the finished work.

 National Portrait Gallery | What's on? | Mirror Mirror | Self-portrait slide notes
It is related to the famous group of portraits painted by Kneller depicting Whig supporters who met regularly at Christopher Cat's Tavern and ate meat pies known as 'Kit-cats', but it is smaller than the rest (all the others measure 36 x 28 inches, the original pre-fabricated 'Kit-cat' canvas measurements).
The resulting oblong is a very unusual shape for a half-length portrait and the crowded composition is untypical of Reynolds, who preferred to leave more space around his subject.
This self-portrait was painted for an exhibition of Sutherland's work held at the National Portrait Gallery in 1977, and it was presented by his widow to the Gallery in 1980.
