Here's an interesting, little mind-bending excursion through 500+ years of portraiture...

I agree!

It seems that very few artists are left handed

Added later:
Most faces are turned towards left in this video, I assumed that the reason for that was that it is easier to draw a left turned profile for a right handed painter.
Now I have come to think that it could also be a reason that a right handed painter will want the light coming in from the left, and to get the light on the face it will have to be turned to the left.
The left handed painter will want the light in from the right.
