silhouette definition and meaning

What is a "silhouette"?

A silhouette is a dark shape or outline of a person, object, or scene against a lighter background. It is created by filling in the shape with a solid color, usually black, while leaving the background lighter. This technique emphasizes the outline and basic form without showing details or textures inside the shape. Silhouettes are often used in art and design to create bold, simple images that emphasize shape and contrast.
