A portrait is a picture of a person, usually is about a face but also a whole body.
Back then only important people could afford to contact artists and get a portrait,that was used, like we use the camera today.
With portraits they could show to anyone how powerful they were, and with the addition of some detailes like thrones,crowns and gold jewelry their image of prestige grew.
Context:
We can find portraits today in many museums,art gallery,rich people houses and castles.
Portraits are also used for identification,so in passport or drive license and lately portraits are used for advertising.
