I would imagine that there are many versions of "figurative" paintings. It would all depend on how close one was to their subject. I would guess that types of paintings would cross over a lot. For instance some of Cassatt's paintings of people included still lifes. The painting would then be both figurative and still life. I guess that a close up painting of an individual could be both portrait and figurative, depending on the eye of the beholder.
