Dutch term or phrase: met een outline overtrekken.
Een silhouet is een foto van een (deel van een) mens of product dat met een outline is overgetrokken.

Literal translation: A silhouette is a photo of a (part of a) person or product that has been traced with an outline. 'Traced with an outline' doesn't sound quite right to me - any more eloquent suggestions?
