The first portrait of Mr. Pinero shows him at the age of seven. The
second portrait, taken at nineteen, marks an era in his life, for it
was in that year he became an actor. At twenty-three he began, as he
describes it, "to write little plays." His fourth portrait was taken in
1890, long before which he had firmly established his position as one
of the few leading dramatists of the age.
