Is a portrait something which requires the subject to pose?

Hmm, how do you mean?
If you know the subject well, good enough to draw him or her by heart(although this seems unlikely), no. If it's an imaginary subject... No.
Actually, I think a high-quality image of the subject will do as well as the posing subject. These days posing for portraits seems a little unnecessary, besides from training for the artist making the portrait.
In general: Not necessarily anymore, because you can also use a picture of the subject in the right pose?
