The picture represents what it represents, independently of its truth or falsehood, through the form of representation.

2.221    What the picture represents is its sense.

2.222    In the agreement or disagreement of its sense with reality, its truth or falsity consists.

2.223    In order to discover whether the picture is true or false we must compare it with reality.

2.224    It cannot be discovered from the picture alone whether it is true or false.

2.225    There is no picture which is a priori true.
