The King has a new portrait

Maybe it’s because I know nothing about art but my initials thoughts are…”Huh”

From the artist:
"It was a privilege and pleasure to have been commissioned by The Drapers' Company to paint this portrait of His Majesty The King, the first to be unveiled since his Coronation. When I started this project, His Majesty The King was still His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, and much like the butterfly I've painted hovering over his shoulder, this portrait has evolved as the subject's role in our public life has transformed. I do my best to capture the life experiences and humanity etched into any individual sitter's face, and I hope that is what I have achieved in this portrait. To try and capture that for His Majesty The King, who occupies such a unique role, was both a tremendous professional challenge, and one which I thoroughly enjoyed and am immensely grateful for."

This portrait is growing on me every time I look at it.

I love the portrait.
It is gentle yet portrays a dutiful Charles.
For a King who loves gardening it has floral tones that match the gorgeous Duchess of Cornwall rose.

I think Animal Rising have improved it 😁

They're making a great point though. I just wish they'd also highlighted the cruel sports the royals enjoy so much too.

gosh @CathyorClaire I’m so surprised you think this. You’re normally such a positive person.

The unspeakable in pursuit of the inedible. I stand with the foxes have done for years and have ones that visit every night. https://www.actionagainstfoxhunting.org/camilla-and-the-convicts-canvas/

I don't like the painting but it was protected by perspex and the additions were only in place a matter of seconds. Harold's being called out for his involvement in Africa Parks. I can't see any reason not to subject the rest of them to the same scrutiny really.

That's a shocking article. So tone deaf on the part of Camilla. Even more shocking that this man appears to have walked free on a technicality.
