A portrait can be done in the form of a painting, photograph, sculpture or drawing. Actually, it can really be done in any artistic form which represents a person, where there face is predominant.
Portraits have been around for many years. Some of the very first portraits were generally of people who ranked of high importance, such as kings or emperors. Over time this has come to change. These are some famous portraits, as you will agree:
Mona Lisa. Painted in oil by Leonardo Da Vinci during the Renaissance in Italy.
Some critics say that this is the most famous painting of all time (Mona Lisa Mania, 1999).
Whistler's Mother. Painted using oil on canvas by her son, James Whistler. (Meacock, n.d.)
