Depiction, in analytic philosophy, is pictorial representation. The Mona Lisa, for example, depicts Lisa and photographs depict what they represent. Not all representation by means of a picture is depiction: a picture of a lamb, for example, may represent Christ symbolically, but not pictorial ( Peacocke, 1987, 383). Similarly, depictions are usually distinguished from abstract paintings, which are a different kind of representation, if they are representations at all (Lopes, 1996).
