A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expression is predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer.
Most early representations that are clearly intended to show an individual are of rulers, and tend to follow idealizing artistic conventions, rather than the individual features of the subject's body, though when there is no other evidence as to the ruler's appearance the degree of idealization can be hard to assess. Nonetheless, many subjects, such as Akhenaten and some other Egyptian pharaohs, can be recognised by their distinctive features. The 28 surviving rather small statues of Gudea, ruler of Lagash in Sumeria between c. 2144 - 2124 BC, show a consistent appearance with some individuality.
Sir Daniel Norton (1568 – 4 July 1636) was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1629.
Norton was the son of Sir Richard Norton of Rotherfield. He was knighted at Whitehall on 23 July 1603. Through his marriage in 1606 he came into possession of Southwick Park He was High Sheriff of Hampshire in 1607. He built a new house on or near the site of Southwick Priory which was demolished at the beginning of the 19th century.
In 1621, he was elected Member of Parliament for Portsmouth. He was elected MP for Hampshire in 1624 and for Portsmouth again in 1625. It was while Charles I was the guest of Norton at Southwick Park, that he received the news of the assassination of the Duke of Buckingham by John Felton at Portsmouth. In 1626 he served a second term as Sheriff of Hampshire and in 1628 was elected MP for Hampshire again, sitting until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years. Norton had joined Sir John Cooper, 1st Baronet in denouncing Arminianism in the 1628-29 parliament,and Norton was made one of the trustees for Cooper's son Anthony Ashley Cooper. He provided a home for him and his siblings at Southwick after the death of their parents and Norton chose a man with Puritan leanings named Fletcher as Cooper's tutor.

I woke up in a new home
unsettled and alone, so
desparate for a sense of
what I want to hear
the happiest of birthdays
avoiding me as always
a child living in
naivet頡nd fear
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that
the love we have could easily be wrong
my knuckles have stopped bleeding
enough to make repeating
the things that drive me crazy
not worthwhile
and now it's just a matter
of watching this world shatter
over a phone that can't
hide a false smile
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that
the love we have could easily be wrong
don't mistake frustration with
a lack of everything that's good
just to reach her
I did everything I could
she's tearing down the portraits I had drawn
she's planning her attack and I'm her pawn
I'm crying just in dealing with the fact that she is feeling that
