Collection type
All

Attribute data type
agent name

Attribute value
Agents

Attribute units
N/A

Part tissue flag

Other ID BaseURL

Context
However, I wonder if it would be useful for our Art collections to have an agent role "subject" for portraits? I know they do something with locality regarding what place is depicted in landscapes. Maybe @marecaguthrie or @krgomez could weigh in on the usefulness of that as a new agent role? It's sort of related to that author role I brought up in #1863 .

Priority
Please assign a priority-label.

What we have done for images depicting agents is to use the "shows agent" media relationship for the media that shows the collection object.

But if there is no media related to the object, this is not useful. I like the idea of placing the "subject", when it is a person, right up front with the maker/collector.

I agree with this.

Yes yes, a thousand times yes.

Added.

@AJLinn how do you really feel about this?!

My only objection is in the definition - it should be more generic so it can cover field photos and such. "Agent depicted in the cataloged item."?

[Jegelewicz]

done

[AJLinn]

"Agent depicted in the cataloged item."?

100% agree - cataloged item could be things other than art
