Portrait
A painting, drawing, or photograph of a person, especially one showing their face and expression.
What is it?
A portrait is a work of art that shows a specific person. Artists try to capture not just what the person looks like, but also their personality and status. The portrait you saw shows a noble person with fancy clothes, which tells us they were rich and powerful.
Why it matters
Portraits help us remember people from history. They also show us what people wore and how they wanted to be seen.
