In a portrait, I

Summary

warm myself by the heat of the others, and become the very feature of their bodies. This quote suggests that in a portrait, the artist becomes one with the subjects they are painting. By immersing themselves in capturing the physical features and essence of others, the artist is able to understand and empathize with them on a deeper level. This process allows the artist to metaphorically merge with their subjects and create a portrait that goes beyond a mere depiction, ultimately reflecting their shared humanity.
