I actually think it's very good, if a little dark.

Oh dear :( He's put weight on her face, and she looks forty rather than thirty :? It hasn't done her justice, as she is very beautiful :roll:

It is a bit photographic and not like an actual painting and makes her look older-more like her mother's age than a young woman. The artist admitted he found it very hard to get right with only three live sittings and then he worked from dozens of photographs of her and I think this shows in the result. She seems to like it but who knows? Behind closed doors she may well have shrieked 'I hate it!'

I agree Fugi.

It does make her look very old and not as pretty as in real life.
