Actually, there's a lot of potential redundancy with "Description", "Source", and "Portion".
You are correct, "Description" is an answer to "What is the image an image of?" But that answer can also include where the image is from, who created the original, how much the original is seen in the image. A comprehensive description of the image would be:
A character study done by Alex Ross of Captain Marvel, Jr, for the Kingdom Come limited series published by DC Comics where the character appeared as "King Marvel". The design reflects later costume design used by Elvis Presley, a fan of the character. The portion used is part of a page from the afterwards section of the hardcover collected edition of the series.
Note that this covers not only what is generally used as "Description" but also what you propose as "Source" and what can be used as "Portion".
In general I try to keep it simple and not regurgitate or embellish what the image is supposed to be supposed to be supporting in the article(s). In this case that's which character, who drew it, and where was it published. If a reader has to come to the back-end to find out why an image is included in an article, then the FUR really doesn't mean a thing, either the article has failed and needs to be fixed or the image is there as decoration in violation of the Wiki policies for use of non-free images.
As for "Source", general use with images that I've seen is that this answers "Where did this file come from?" That is, did the uploader scan (print) or capture (video/film) the image them self or did they get it from a verifiable website. From what I've seen there are 5 ways this is filled in:

Image:FMALust2.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a
claim of fair use. However, it is currently
orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see
our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot ( talk) 03:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,
