This article focuses on the translation of linguistic units used in the depiction
of character portraits in literary texts. Specifically, it investigates how authors use
physical descriptions to reveal the psychological and emotional states of characters. In
literary fiction, a person’s inner world—reflected through appearance, gestures, and
behavior—often conveys key traits and thematic messages. These portrayals are not
merely visual but are deeply intertwined with the character's psychological state, social
context, and emotional journey. The study examines the stylistic and linguistic
characteristics involved in translating such portrayals from Uzbek into English. The
primary source for analysis is A. Qadiri’s novel Bygone Days, along with its English
translations. The article explores how stylistic nuances and cultural elements are
preserved, adapted, or lost in translation, highlighting the challenges and strategies used
by translators to retain the original artistic intent
