Summary

This quote, by Oscar Wilde, suggests that the emotions and perspectives of the artist play a significant role in how they portray someone in a portrait. Instead of merely capturing the physical features of the sitter, a truly meaningful portrait reflects the artist's emotions, thoughts, and experiences. It implies that an artist's interpretation of the subject reveals more about the artist themselves than the person being depicted. Therefore, a portrait is not just a representation of the sitter but also a reflection of the artist's inner world and unique artistic vision.
