Oil portrait, sight-size

Traditional method developed by Leonardo da Vinci, unfortunately lost in France but often used by Anglo-Saxon portrait painters in the tradition of Sargent in particular. This so-called comparison method allows the artist to see his model and his work side by side and exactly on the same scale.
