Portraiture is the broader artistic tradition of depicting a person or group, spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography, with a history stretching from ancient Egyptian and Roman busts through Renaissance oil paintings to contemporary digital art. Artists use portraiture to capture not just physical likeness but also status, personality, and emotional depth. It remains popular among fine artists, illustrators, and commissioned portrait painters.
