Silhouette


A silhouette is a view of an object or scene consisting of the outline and a featureless interior. The term comes from 'tienne de Silhouette, Louis XV's miserly finance minister. A silhouette is a form of artwork. It is most commonly a human portrait in profile, in black. Most silhouettes are formed by tracing the shadow of the subject and cutting along the resultant outline.
