- The Scottish artist Katherine Read travelled to Italy in the 1750s to hone her skills as a portraitist and capture some of the bustling market for Grand Tour portraits. Combining details from letters written during her time on the Continent with archival sources, this article presents details of her personal experience alongside a working list of her early portraits.
