Portraiture, an artistic endeavor capturing the likeness or essence of individuals, spans various mediums such as painting, drawing, sculpture, and graphic art. The core purpose of a portrait is to faithfully represent the physical appearance of the subject, and at times, to delve deeper into depicting their personality or character. The art of portraiture opens up
a wide spectrum of styles and classifications, enriched by the historical context and the multitude of artistic expressions available.
Portraits can be categorized by the composition of the figure—ranging from busts and half-length to full-length depictions, including specialized forms like equestrian or reclining poses. The orientation of the subject’s head further diversifies the genre into front-facing (en face), profile, three-quarter profile, and quarter-turned profiles.
The diversity in painted portraits extends to the number of subjects portrayed (single, double, or group portraits), the occasion of the portrait’s creation (such as wedding or official portraits), the social status of the depicted individuals (from monarchs to scholars), the intended purpose (official or private), the portrayal style (from realistic to caricature), and the specific techniques and lighting used by the artist.
