Abstract
The description of the signs referred to in the Specialty literature and the ”Spoken Portrait” Method, has the characteristics of the body in its entirety, the emphasis being placed on the anatomic features of the face, being covered in the description of the volume, shape, position and color of the observed parts, each element being appreciated in the report with other anatomical elements that make up the described ensemble. Descriptions differ depending on who performs them. In some cases, the description of an individual by the eyewitness may be incomplete or even erroneous because of objective or subjective circumstances that prevent good perception. As a person can be distinguished from another, in a Forensic Sciences and yet identified way, it is necessary to describe his anatomical characteristics according to scientific methods, using appropriate terminology and precise criteria for dimensioning. In this sense, the identification is carried out by means of specialized methods and techniques in the framework of criminal prosecution activities, carried out according to tactical rules specific to the hearing of the witnesses or victims of the offense.

Summary
The foundation of the portrait was established in the XV Century by Leonardo da Vinci, who systematized the organs of the human body, appreciating them to be diverse: straight, concave, convex. It indicates that the technique of describing the portrait is the way to retain and reproduce the profile of a human figure after being seen once (Lucard 1932, 119). Diseases or trauma suffered by the human body, certain surgical interventions may give rise to changes that are distinctive signs of that person. The features of the head and face hold the main place in the realization of the spoken portrait and will be completed with the description of the whole body and of the clothing (Buzatu 2013, 92)
