Hi Laura,

Try Set in Stone: The Face in Medieval Sculpture from the Met Museum's exhibition of the same name of 2006. The 240-page book, loaded with images, is available for free pdf download at the Met site:

With apologies for cross posting. I am looking for medium-to-large images of the faces of pre-1300 sculpted portraits, taken in pure frontal view. I'm finding them surprisingly hard to find, so if you do happen to know of any I'd be grateful.

Many thanks

Laura
