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.

Sort:  

Those portraits you showed me are interesting for sure. There are a few there I like.

Lol, your portrait is an exceptional one, spot on I'd say, so thanks for sharing it with me and the world 😂😂😂

I promised you a portrait and in March you might get one 😉 😏 🤪 Just get yourself ready.

That portrait of me hangs in the national gallery and attracts millions of people to view it every week. The Louvre rang up and asked if they could hang it there, they want to replace the Mona Lisa with it, I said yes. They better stock up the cafe there, they'll draw billions of people to the exhibit don't you think?
