From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

(same with Category:Paintings by view of subject)

The name of this category is misleaning or not precise. "view of subject" means here:

  1. The "view of the subject in relation to the observer", see subcategory: Category:Portraits by angle between observer and subject's face and
  2. The "framing of the picture", see subcategory: Category:Portraits by framing of subject

See eg. subcategories like Category:Portrait paintings of females by view of subject where most content is focused on the framing aspect. -- W like wikiPlease ping me!Postive1Postive2  12:53, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
