What is a portrait?
Wikipedia defines a portrait as "a painting,
photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its
expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the
person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of
a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or
photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer."
Merriam-Webster's definition is,
naturally, a little more succinct: "PICTURE; especially : a pictorial representation of a
person usually showing the face"
