Portraits
Portraits are visual representations, typically created through painting, drawing, photography, or digital art, that focus on capturing the likeness, personality, and expression of a person. They aim to convey more than just physical features, often reflecting the individual's character, status, or mood. Artists use composition, lighting, and attention to detail to highlight the subject’s unique qualities. Portraits can be formal or informal, personal or official, and are often used to preserve the memory of someone or to convey their story. They serve as a window into a person's identity and the cultural context of their time.
