A portrait artist creates an image that shows a comprehensive and usually idealized presentation of a person/personality that seems less like a specific moment in time (like a snapshot/candid photo) and more like the Idea of the person. They work from sessions of sitting with the "subject" (person being painted/photgraphed) or from photos, if the portrait is a painting. A portrait is more of an "official declaration" than a mere document.
