A Portrait Chinois (Chinese portrait) is a metaphorical description of oneself by a comparison with various things or elements, a tree, a flower, a film, an historical character, a dish, whatever.
Face, countenance, visage refer to the front of the (usually human) head. The face is the combination of the features: a face with broad cheekbones. Countenance, a more formal word, denotes the face as it is affected by or reveals the state of mind, and hence often signifies the look or expression on the face: a thoughtful countenance. Visage, still more formal, refers to the face as seen in a certain aspect, especially as revealing seriousness or severity: a stern visage.
