A silhouette is the image of a person, animal, object or scene represented as a solid shape of a single color, usually black, its edges matching the outline of the subject. The interior of a silhouette is featureless, and the whole is typically presented on a light background, usually white, or none at all. The silhouette differs from an outline, which depicts the edge of an object in a linear form, while a silhouette appears as a solid shape. Silhouette images may be created in any visual artistic media, but was first used to describe pieces of cut paper, which were then stuck to a backing in a contrasting colour, and often framed.
Cutting portraits, generally in profile, from black card became popular in the mid-18th century, though the term silhouette was seldom used until the early decades of the 19th century, and the tradition has continued under this name into the 21st century. They represented a cheap but effective alternative to the portrait miniature, and skilled specialist artists could cut a high-quality bust portrait, by far the most common style, in a matter of minutes, working purely by eye. Other artists, especially from about 1790, drew an outline on paper, then painted it in, which could be equally quick. The leading 18th-century English "profilist" in painting, John Miers, advertised "three minute sittings", and the cost might be as low as half a crown around 1800. Miers' superior products could be in grisaille, with delicate highlights added in gold or yellow, and some examples might be painted on various backings, including gesso, glass or ivory. The size was normally small, with many designed to fit into a locket, but otherwise a bust some 3 to 5 inches high was typical, with half- or full-length portraits proportionately larger.

Plot: Dashing through the streets of Venice, slipping from the clutches of the law, darting across Europe in search of new challenges, Giacomo Casanova races through life with irrepressible energy. Violinist, writer, soldier, spy, gambler, adventurer - it is as a lover that he unbridles the full force of his energy. A charmer and seducer, he, too, is charmed by the beauty of women, seduced by their passion, intrigued by their mystery. For the young Casanova, life may be one dazzling Venetian carnival, but in love there are no masks or disguises: this is where he is at his most genuine, most vulnerable, most naked. The son of an actress, Giacomo Casanova grows up surrounded by the magic and artifice of theater. As the protégé of the French ambassador to the Venetian Republic, he begins his ascent in society - and his conquest of its most beautiful women. Betrayed by his jealous benefactor, Casanova is thrown into prison. Fifteen months later, he escapes and flees to Paris, where he beguiles Louis XV's mistress, Madame de Pompadour.

Late nights and coffee, you still haven't called me
Got another girl, hope you know I'm sorry
Back in the day I thought I was a shoe-in
It turns out my soul doesn't fit inside this human
I can get in touch with the ghosts from my past
Making mountains out of my mellifluous raps
If devotion is a sin, I'm married to this game
My signature, my picture, and get me a chain
A frame, so I can put the photo on a wall
A shiny case for my vinyl records and all
If you don't understand, I'm calling it luck
I used to wish be the man, now I just don't give a–
[Verse 2]
I didn't really get how the big felt small
I'm not answering the phone next time help calls
My friends said you're about to for real
When you blow up, people are gonna ask you how it feels
I know that it's bold, making these predictions
We all have our battles, fighting our addictions
I wanna be booked, not a book off the shelf
I could be the best, I'd rather be myself
Because in the end, that's all I'll ever be
I'll listen to Lennon, I could Let It Be
Because we aren't alone when the world is cold and shady
We live inside a home where the souls are cultivating
