Portrait Watermarks

A portrait is a pictoral representation of a person. A portrait usually shows a person's face, but not always. The entire body may also be included. Portraits can be made of any medium and may be two dimensional or three dimensional. Portraits in watermarks have been used for many reasons. They may be made to commemorate an event, as identification of the owner, or as decoration.
