What is a classical portrait?
1 Answer
A classical portrait is a work of art that depicts a person and attempts to show them in a natural way that captures how they really look. They differ from more modern portraits which often seek to show the person's emotional state and use various levels of abstraction to distort the subject's appearance. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of portrait paintings.
