Silhouette Portraiture
Silhouette, an image or design in a single hue and tone, most usually the popular 18th- and 19th-century cut or painted profile portraits done in black on white or the reverse. Silhouette also is any outline or sharp shadow of an object. The word was satirically derived from the name of the parsimonious mid-18th-century French finance minister Étienne de Silhouette, whose hobby was the cutting of paper shadow profiles. The phrase à la Silhouette grew to mean “on the cheap” and is still widely used to describe anything inexpensively produced.
