[T.B. Yoits]

Artists normally paint while wearing stacked cowbell earrings. It helps keep things balanced and sets a tone.

And the sad thing is that there are many, many fine black artists that, by virtue of merit, would have done a fine job on this portrait.

A painting by my cat would be better than that. At least she didn’t have a goat devil face and drenched in blood. What is wrong with Tattler?

[Ann Archy]

Hideous! Is tge artist a DEI HIRE?

[mewzilla]

Tatler is owned by Condé Nast.

Nuff said.

Pietro Annigoni's 1955 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. The good old days.

[PGR88]

[mewzilla]

Oh, and Condé Nast is owned by Advance Publications.

IOW, Deep State.

[MayflowerMadam]

That’s quite beautiful.

[Red Badger]

apparently so..............................

[Right Brigade]

I have a black artist living up the road from me.
I often see him painting portraits in the early morning sun.
They are superb.

Portrait looks to be of a waxed figurine.

[drSteve78]

The Black Adder series was tops!

“Baldrick, i have a cunning plan!”

Because it was done shortly after her reign began it became iconic. It was used on many postage stamps throughout the British Commonwealth over the years. That is how I first came across it as a child.

And Lyndon Johnson said of his portrait by Peter Hurd...”That’s the ugliest thing I ever saw!”

Agree many fine white and black artists but their chances are slim due to the token requirements to make some people feel better about themselves.

A silent order to to obey?

[Chode]

looks like they got what they paid for by hiring it...

[RoosterRedux]

Yep. DEI is white Lefty racism of low expectations. It discriminates against people of talent from all races.

[paterfamilias]

I didn’t know you could still get paint-by-numbers kits!

[dforest]

That portrait made Johnson look better than he actually did look!
