Borrowed from Italian ritratto
Noun
ritratto (plural ritrattos or ritrattoes)
- (obsolete) A picture; a portrait.
- 1761, Laurence Sterne, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman:
- ——'tis more like a ritratto of the shadow of vanity, than of VANITY herself——of the two; resembling rather a faint thought of transient applause, secretly stirring up in the heart of the composer, than a gross mark of it, coarsely obtruded upon the world.
