The Portraiting theme challenges the assumptions we make in looking at individual portraits, and how we read the portraits we see. Is looking for " likeness" (the resemblance between a sitter's most visible characteristics and her portrait image) the most important aspect of understanding a portrait? What else can we be looking for, and what other questions should we be asking?
