The portrait of Paul Revere by John Copley is in the style, as was prevalent in Europe at the same time and the official style of the French Revolution.

i got this answer from a really friend, and it was right.

artists need to create a realistic interpretation so that people in general can relate to the artwork. for a common people, an artist's impression gets increased only if he can create something which would look realistic. an abstract is difficult for a common people to understand whereas if a person can draw a girl with simple pencil sketch and if that looks like a real figure then the latter will be praised more than the former.
