Exploring the passage of time through art, this collection showcases various depictions from different eras. From the lithograph diagram illustrating the proportions of the human body at different ages, to Curiosities of the British population engravings, we witness the transformation of a horseman from the Bronze Age to the present day. Childhood is represented through man's Les Quatres Ages De la vie humaine, while Allegory Portraits offer artistically rendered interpretations of the different ages. Head studies from 1625-77 etching's second state and a banknote vignette further emphasize the distinctiveness of each stage of life. Lastly, Vivant Denon's self-portrait at different ages (1818) serves as a poignant reminder of the inexorable march of time.
