About the Expert:
Hattie Bennett has a degree in History of Art and an MA in Historic Interiors. After working for the Royal Collection in the Print Room at Windsor Castle, she was a curator for a private collector of 17th and 18th-century prints and drawings. This sparked a keen interest in portraiture and English art, as well as the printed image.
