意味
To describe someone or something in detail.
文化的背景
The 'Portrait Chinois' is a common icebreaker in French social gatherings and even in media interviews (like the Proust Questionnaire). The 'Portrait' is a prestigious genre in French newspapers like 'Le Monde' or 'Libération', often taking up a full page with high literary quality. Classical French literature (17th century) is famous for 'Les Caractères' by La Bruyère, which are essentially a collection of 'portraits dressés' of society. Usage is similar to France, but in casual Quebec French, you might hear 'faire un portrait' more often than 'dresser'.
Use Adjectives

Not for Objects
Don't 'dresser un portrait' of your car or your house. Keep it for people or complex concepts.
