Abstract

From an early age, interested in painting, in the various aspects of its cultural and social existence, Eça de Queirós dialogued with it and with portraiture. The 19th century, moreover, was a time of intense social appreciation of the portrait and also of the self-portrait. The present text deals, in an exploratory and not definitive way, with some manifestations of the intermediary vocation of a great Queirosian novel, Os Maias.
