She drifted from painting to painting, reading placards without absorbing them. A landscape of mountains looked too calm to be honest. She stopped in front of a portrait whose subject wore a small, knowing smile. The frame held the painting like a firm hand on a shoulder, keeping it composed when she felt anything but." What is the function of the personification in the bolded phrase?
