"More than six hundred portraits are catalogued here in detail. Each is illustrated in black and white in chronological sequence indicating, with the forty-eight colour plates and selected relevant drawings, the full range of Ramsay's art. There is an introductory essay and biographical summary, a chronological list of portraits, statistical surveys of Ramsay's production and prices, and indices of engravers and of sales."--BOOK JACKET.
