Hello!
My Russian grammar book draws a sharp distiction between these two expressions - "a woman's portrait' and 'a portrait of a woman' saying that the first demonstrates posession (some portrait belongs to some woman) and the latter shows that in some picture you can see some woman.
I've got doubts about the first one. Doesn't 'a woman's portrait' mean both, either posession or graphic representation?
Thank you very much in advance!
