Nicholas Hilliard's miniatures show us the celebrities of the Elizabethan age with far more naturalism than paintings 'in large', but his portraits 'in little' share some characteristics of formal portraiture, particularly the texts accompanying the images and the all-important detail of costumes that display the sitter's wealth and position. Along with an informative essay, Karen Hearn presents reproductions, with commentaries, of 30 works, including the famous images of Elizabeth I, George Clifford and Sir Walter Raleigh.
