What is the nature of a portrait?
In what ways are the figures in the “Terracotta Army” portraits?
Do you agree with Kesner that they are just types?
You may want to make reference to the following article on Roman portraiture. Sheldon Nodelman, "How to Read a Roman Portrait," Art in America, vol. 63, no. 1 (Jan.--Feb. 1975). I hope this essay will be on e-reserve by tomorrow, but you should be able to find an electronic citation as well.
