3/4`s of a figure, a half-length figure and an outlined figure.


Explanation:
a half-length figure.
Of portraits, showing the person from the waist up . Also, a portrait showing only the upper half of the person.

soooory en español:

half-length se usa en retratos cuando muestran a la persona de cintura para arriba, y tambièn retratos que muestran la mitad de arriba de una persona.
Si el contexto habla de una sola figura podrìas traducirlo asì:

an outlined, half length, 3/4s of a figure.


Mucha Suerte!
