The Three-Quarter Portrait

August 26, 2025 - February 1, 2026

The vantage point of a portrait plays a powerful role in shaping our interpretation of the subject. Many artists choose the three-quarter view as a way to strike a balance offering both formality and intimacy. Unlike a profile, which may feel distant, or a full-frontal gaze, which can be too direct, the three-quarter pose invites the viewer in, creating a sense of engagement and conversation with the subject.
