Portrait Records is an American record label active from 1976 to the present, initially formed in association with Epic Records and later a division of Columbia Records. Portrait has had several incarnations each emphasizing different styles of music ranging from pop-rock, to jazz and heavy metal and most recently classical crossover acts. Notable artists Cyndi Lauper and Sade signed with Portrait, but their contracts were absorbed by Epic after that incarnation of the label was shuttered.
