If possible, it's even worse than the 2001 portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Lucian Freud:

Brits have the same taste in contemporary art as they do in traditional English cooking.

That’s terrible, too. It looks like a paint by number picture you can get at a craft store like Michaels or Hobby Lobby.

Lucien Freud (distant relative of the psychiatrist) captured the essence of the Queen very well, but the result is not necessarily nice to look at. He used his familiar impasto, technique, with thick application of paint and a harsh treatment of light. Most his work is like this, roughly rendered, but accurate.
