PORTRAIT, n. [Eng. to portray; pour; for, fore, and traire; L. trahere; Eng. to draw.] A picture or representation of a person, and especially of a face, drawn from the life.
PORTRAIT, v.t. To portray; to draw. [Not used.]
The likeness of a person, painted, drawn, or
engraved; commonly, a representation of the human face painted from
real life.
In portraits, the grace, and, we may add, the likeness, consists more in the general air than in the exact similitude of every feature. Sir J. Reynolds. * The meaning of the word is sometimes extended so as to include a photographic likeness. Hence, any graphic or vivid delineation or
description of a person; as, a portrait in words.
Portrait bust, or Portrait statue, a bust or statue representing the actual features or person of an individual; -- in distinction from an ideal bust or statue. To portray; to
draw.
[Obs.] Spenser. | ||||||||
