James D: Bravo! I say "Bravo!", Sir! You got it. Hit the old nail right on the head, you did.
I've said before that anyone can take a picture of Aunt Harriet which, if shown to someone who knows her, will elicit the comment "That's Aunt Harriet." Piece of cake. Done every day by millions of people with cameras, including an unfortunate number of portraitists.
It is an entirely different thing to take a picture of Aunt Harriet which, if shown to someone who does not know her, will result in "That portrait tells me something about the character of Aunt Harriet."
Check the portrait of the jurist in 'The Family of Man' as a prime example.
