Hand-painted portrait paintings have been a popular form of visual art. These paintings were usually created by professional artists and often depicted important figures, such as kings, queens, nobles and famous people.

Before the advent of photography, oil painting techniques were widely used to create portrait paintings. Artists used different colors and pigments to create effects of light and shadow, as well as to capture the features and expressions of their subject. Artists also factored their subject's surroundings and clothing into their painting, which added an extra dimension to the work.

Hand-painted portrait paintings were often created to order and were seen as a way to celebrate wealth and social status. They were often used as a means of political propaganda and were often displayed in the homes of nobility and high society.

In the 19th century, for example, the romantic style was widely used in portrait paintings, with subjects portrayed in dramatic and emotional ways. In the 20th century, new painting techniques, such as Impressionism and Fauvism, were used to create more modern portrait paintings.

In summary, hand painted portrait paintings have been a popular form of visual art for many centuries. They were created by professional artists and often depicted important personalities.
