A portrait is 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.

9. When the artist creates a portrait of him- or
herself, it is called a self-portrait. Identifiable
examples become numerous in the late
Middle Ages, but if the definition is extended
the first was by the Egyptian Pharaoh
Akhenaten's sculptor Bak, who carved a
representation of himself and his wife Taheri
1365 BC. However, it seems likely that self-
portraits go back to the cave paintings, the
earliest representational art, and literature
records several classical examples that are
now lost.

Popular Portraits
One of the best-known portraits in the
Western world is Leonardo da Vinci's painting
titled Mona Lisa, which is a painting of Lisa
del Giocondo. What has been claimed as the
world's oldest known portrait was found in
2006 in the Vilhonneur grotto near Angoulême
and is thought to be 27,000 years old.

LITERATURE
In literature the term portrait refers to a written
description or analysis of a person or thing. A
written portrait often gives deep insight, and offers an
analysis that goes far beyond the superficial. For
example, American author Patricia Cornwell wrote
a best-selling book titled Portrait of a Killer about the
personality, and background.
