Portraits were historically made through various methods, including painting, drawing, and Photography. In the past, artists would often use oil paints or pastels to create detailed representations of their subjects, sometimes working from life or using sketches. With the advent of photography in the 19th century, capturing likenesses became more accessible, leading to a shift in how portraits were created. Today, digital technologies also allow for new forms of portraiture, merging traditional techniques with modern tools.
