I have a portrait of Saint Thomas More in my office. ↗

I collect old portraits. They're all just interesting pictures of people, and you just kind of wonder who they were and what they were. There's a guy - I don't know who he is, but he's wearing a suit. He's got his arms folded, and he looks like he sold insurance or something. I'm just wondering why someone painted him. ↗

The moment seemed right to me for a full and, if possible, authoritative portrait of the life and character of the Prince of Wales. ↗

The best portraits are those in which there is a slight mixture of caricature. ↗
