Portfolio H of the series is comprised of a total of 12 portfolios, numbered 1 through 12. This portfolio is concerned with the painter as a trained workman. The old masters were trained to the standards of their craft. When they had mastered their craft, they put their skills to the service of their patrons, without feeling any loss of creative integrity. This portfolio views the application of the painter's craft as an expression of his art.
