Kim, I've always assumed that if the person was secondary to the concept it was figurative. I have the galleries on my portrait site divided into Portraits, Children, and Figurative Works. The latter aren't all purely figurative, but they're there because they're not standard portraits. And I've made giclees of three of them because I think they're of sufficiently general interest that they might sell to strangers, even though they're excellent likenesses of the person depicted. The ones I've copied are Baby Chick, Rose Fairy, and Skipping Rope, but I've also had requests for Naiad in Red and Green.
Don't know if that helps! And I'd definitely call your painting figurative rather than portraiture, regardless of the likeness.
