What reading level is Portrait Miniatures From the Time of Holbein 1531 to That of Sir William Ross book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

According to Vertue he had some contemporaries living in France bearing the same name, Aubin Olivier of Boisy, the inventor of machinery for stamping money, and Peter and John Olivier, printers at Caen in Normandy.
Of his ancestors or his history or his life there is nothing known, and his work has to speak for itself. Hilliard is said by Walpole to have been his master, and Zucchero, who arrived in England in 1574, assisted him in his earlier efforts. He died at his house in Blackfriars in 161
...7, and was buried at St. Anne's Church in the same parish. The date of his son Peter's birth is very uncertain, and there is a discrepancy which it seems impossible to clear up in the accepted statements as to it. He died in 1647.
In the hands of these two masters, father and son, miniature painting assumed a new asped:. The old flatness and shallowness of the illuminated manuscript were left behind, and a roundness and life-like character given to the faces. Darker back- grounds first take the place of the bright blue of Hilliard's work, and great care and delicacy are given to the delineation of the fine lace or plain lawn collars that formed so distinctive a feature of the costume of the day.
