NAMED PORTRAITS.

Note that many works fall into multiple categories. Some ‘figurative’ works would be ‘named portraits’, but the identity of the sitter is lost, others are as much landscape studies, but are classed ‘figurative’ because that is the focus point of the piece. Some nominally figurative or scenic works have symbolist elements in them.
