a silhouette is a shadow or a void of an object or something. At the best it is more than a shadow, it is mastered by an artist skilled in hand-cutting portraits from viewing. At the worst, it is a tracing of a shadow, or a photo-shop. The word silhouette came from Augustin Edourt who changed the term "shades" which were often wall tracings, to silhouette after the authentic hand-cut profiles Etienne de Silhouette admired. silhouettesbycindi.com
