We have a thing called the Archibald Prize for portraits which is run each year which is a coveted thing to win. You can have a look here if you're interested. The link shows past winners. https://www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/prizes/archibald/
I don't mind portraits and find then fascinating, especially the historical ones, like of people that are no longer with is. I love history and find value in pondering who those people were in life.
You probably don't know this, but I was asked to sit for a painter to do my portrait. I felt self-conscious at first but knew the painter, a true master, would get it right...Do you want to see it?
Warning: It's a spectacular and perfect depiction of me; the likeness is uncanny.
