The word "silhouette" derives from the name of Étienne de Silhouette, an 18th-century French finance minister known for his austere lifestyle and cost-cutting measures. As a result, his name became associated with inexpensive portraits made by cutting out the outlines of subjects against a lighter background, which were seen as a cheaper alternative to traditional painting. Over time, the term evolved to describe any dark outline or shape against a lighter background, retaining its connection to the art form.
