To represent. To make present through an action, an image, etc. This mirror faithfully represents objects; he is well represented in this painting; this phenomenon is strongly represented in this description; the representation of this play served to astonish everyone; he represents himself with a lot of dignity; the pomp of his entrance represented all the power of his sovereignty. To represent duties to superiors is an act as perilous as it is useless. To win the admiration of men, you have to represent yourself to your own self and to others grandiosely. Go, but be ready to represent yourself on the first hint. Kings represent God on earth.
