The term silhouette refers to an image of an object, scene or a person who is backlit and seems darker against the contrasting light background. It became synonymous with art during the 19th century though it was used since earlier times. It is an art form which involves creating solid single colored shapes to depict images of people, scenes or animals. It is made normally using solely the black color for filling the solid shape whose edges match the subject’s outline. This is an inexpensive mode of portrait miniature and can be completed in a matter of minutes by skilled artists.
