The dictionary's 1913 edition of the 1900 International, renamed Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, has in modern times been used in various free online resources, as its copyright lapsed and it became public domain.

Por"trait
[F., originally p. p. of portraire to portray. See Portray.]
  1. The likeness of a person, painted, drawn, or engraved; commonly, a representation of the human face painted from real life.

    In portraits, the grace, and, we may add, the likeness, consists more in the general air than in the exact similitude of every feature. Sir J. Reynolds.

    * The meaning of the word is sometimes extended so as to include a photographic likeness.

  2. Hence, any graphic or vivid delineation or description of a person; as, a portrait in words.

    Portrait bust, or Portrait statue, a bust or statue representing the actual features or person of an individual; -- in distinction from an ideal bust or statue.
