The “portrait” began to establish itself as a literary genre, especially in French literature, from about 1650 onwards. French writers of the 17th century “le Grand Siècle” such as Molière and La Bruyère excelled in this form of a painting-in-words of a person. In the eighteenth century the portrait contained more of the psychology of the individual, while in the 19th century it found its place in the novel, especially in the works of Balzac.
