1. portraits

   A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are 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.

Examples of Portraits in a Sentence

1. Nancy Locke:

   [Google] may be able to alleviate the problem by adding more works of art from outside Europe and North America, part of the problem perhaps can’t be fixed, though, in that it was largely wealthy Europeans who commissioned portraits in the centuries prior to our own, and these are the works of art that are popping up in the app for white people who try it.

2. Robert Maxwell:

   When I met Ghislaine in 1984, she was about 23. I thought she was a lovely girl. I liked her from the start, and she was very shy and very unassuming and not the harlot that she's been portrayed as, she asked me if I would take a series of pictures of her in the studio, a fashion shoot because her father ... you know, doted on her … [he] wanted one of the portraits that I took to put on the Lady Ghislaine yachts. He was totally besotted with Ghislaine. She could do no wrong.

3. Rita Rudner:

   I was going to have cosmetic surgery until I noticed that the doctor's office was full of portraits by Picasso.

4. George Brainard:

   I (feel) like the black and white here, I think that it sort of takes (people) out of reality a bit and makes them sort of more iconic, i like that it makes them look more like a piece of art. I think these portraits are almost sculptural in some ways. They've very simple, very direct, and I think the black and white helps with all of that.

5. Adamo Macri:

   My portraits have a neutral appearance to them. Depending on the theme, achieving the appropriate balance is always an obstacle. Proportions, like everything else, require meticulous measurement. That is, how masculine, emotional, and expressive they may come across and were meant to be - as if working in a science lab.
