group portrait

Collective posed picture

A group portrait is a painting, photograph, or other artwork depicting multiple people together.

The term implies deliberate arrangement rather than a candid shot: The wedding party assembled for the group portrait.

Corporate boards, sports teams, and graduating classes commonly commission group portraits.

The genre dates to Renaissance paintings of guilds and civic organizations.
