One of the most frequent description was portrait of people, both in its physical and spiritual. When the portrait is applied only to the moral character, is called etopeya particular. Sometimes , the physical and moral in the picture is mixed.
A rule that applies to all descriptions and, therefore, for and Pictures etopeyas is this: we have to describe with accuracy and vivacity details. But not all the details have the same value ; import only those who are characteristic of the individual portrayed. This means that the mere accumulation of details is not a good portrait , on the contrary, you can do annoying and tedious.
must select thus defining traits. Thoroughness, the desire to say everything usually produces bad results. And this form is applicable to any kind of writing: radically suppress know everything that has no special significance for our purpose and that enhances the development of the subject, even if it hurts and it cost us effort "invent it."
In physical picture, matter, of course, body features and attire. Here is an example of R. Pérez de Ayala (1916): Happy
Merlo 'Merlo comes when well-known and precise. Wears a duck, pea color, canvas shoes. Sign in with his jacket and neck unbuttoned. By Descote overlook the shirt, black, snakelike flaming and strands of hair, because the lawyer is a man with chest hair. The straw hat in one hand, the other a range of wicker, like a jug with to aerate the sweaty face. Is lower than it is tall, crudely tripudo, a dark complexion retinto, threatening mustaches God and men, equal and white teeth, eyes on purpose to scorch female souls. "
Let's see a brief portrait of the playwright Miguel Mihura written by Francisco Umbral (1977):
"Miguel Mihura had short hair and hair gracefully forward. At first pareccía a little low, but as he was no longer pareccía much. His eyes were small and smart living nice face and a tired, almost grim seriousness of all the comedians and a slow voice, deep and lazy. "
The following is a etopeya . Leopoldo Alas "Clarín" portrays the ambitious nature of the canon Spaniard Fermin de Pas:
"No resigned to rise, the higher you could get, but every day he thought less in these ambiguities of ambition long-term, characteristic of youth. Had reached thirty-five years and the lust for power was stronger and less idealistic, was content with fewer but more strongly wanted, needed it more closely, it was not expected to hunger, thirst in the desert that burns and is satisfied in the pool impure without waiting to discover the source you are away in an unknown location. Without admitting it, sometimes felt faint of will and faith in himself that gave him chills thinking of such moments that perhaps he would never be anything of what he had aspired to, which may limit his career would current or a bad bishop in old age, all sarcasm. When these ideas came over him, to overcome and forget was delivered with fury to enjoy the present, the power he had in his hand devoured his dam, the ancient Levitical like a caged lion vile pieces of meat that the trainer throws. "
As in painting, portrait of a writer himself called autorretato . Here are the most famous self-portrait of English literature of Miguel de Cervantes (1613):
