Forschungsthema: The Democratization of a Genre: The Establishment of the Early Modern Italian Portrait Drawing
  "This project examines the development and establishment of the highly finished portrait drawing as an independent art form during the Italian Renaissance (1430s-1620s). It also undertakes a parallel inquiry into the expansion of the portraiture genre to include a more diverse range of sitters in Italy. The book explores the representation of economically, culturally, and racially diverse sitters—including workshop assistants, enslaved people, and non-Europeans—to reassess notions of identity and aesthetic worth."
