Portrait

A portrait is a visual representation, typically in the form of a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic medium, that depicts the likeness of a person. The primary goal of a portrait is to capture the physical appearance, facial expressions, and sometimes the personality or essence of the individual being portrayed. Portraits can be created in various styles, from realistic and detailed to abstract and interpretive. Artists often use different techniques and mediums to convey the unique characteristics and emotions of the subject, making portraits a diverse and expressive form of art. Portraiture has a long history, dating back centuries, and continues to be a popular and significant genre in the world of visual arts.
