PORTRAIT, n. [Eng. to portray; pour; for, fore, and traire; L. trahere; Eng. to draw.] A picture or representation of a person, and especially of a face, drawn from the life.
In portraits, the grace, and we may add, the likeness, consist more in the general air than in the exact similitude of every feature.
PORTRAIT, v.t. To portray; to draw. [Not used.]
