The definition of a portrait in my own eyes is anything that represents a person. It can include certain things such as the person and objects that represents what they are or what they enjoy doing. (Portraiture 25). Also, anything that captures the gist of a person's personality is a portait in my eyes. This could include a painting of them, a photograph, etc. A portrait is also  anything that "engages the identity of the sitter represented" (Portraiture 29). Even the way you position the person being represented can tell the viewer something about their personality or status.
