Answer:

The portrait of the lady is the first lesson in the NCERT English book titled Hornbill.

The lesson is aptly titled "The Portrait of a Lady" because because the author Khushwant Singh intended it to be a character sketch of his grandmother.

The word of 'Portrait' is a wordplay on 'character sketch' and the grandmother of the author has numerous 'Lady' like qualities, hence the title.
