I love this new mint portrait! Her small smile is gorgeous and I love Britannia on the obverse. Do little girls often dress up as brittania for Halloween? They should - that helmet and shield rock.

I actually prefer this coin to the 97 version.
 
why is that I don't like neither this statue? Am I the only one? :(
 
I think it looks like a young Queen rather than her current age.

I thought it looked a bit cartoon-ish. I don't mean to bring a laugh, but more like the molded features you see in comic books or in the prosthetics that character actors use at amusement parks. I like it - she is very voung and hopeful as depicted.

The only members of the royal family that were photographed was The Queen, William and Camilla?

Thanks, Rudolph! How they all treat the eye color is interesting.
 
Damien Hirst’s first portrait of the Queen is sitting in a government archive after he secretly donated the work to the nation, The Telegraph can disclose.

The portrait – shown in public here for the first time – was given to the Government Art Collection last year after officials approach the controversial artist for a piece.

It is produced through the “spin” technique which helped make Hirst famous during his rise as a contemporary artist and fetch reach millions of pounds if sold at auction.

However until now it has not been displayed in a public gallery after the work was taken straight from Hirst’s studio into the collection.

This artist hasn't got the shape of the Queen's face right. He's made it almost masculine whereas the Queen's face is softer and more rounded. Few portraits of Elizabeth have captured her though, so Dan Hall's just one among multitudes.
 
Artist who created 'Spitting Image' Queen portrait unveils another painting of Her Majesty - and it looks exactly the same*

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/..._i_u9APj8RuoebjoAHt0k9u7HhRJvuo-ZLenGRumA.jpg
n artist whose portrait of the Queen was criticised for looking like a Spitting Image puppet has unveiled a new painting of the monarch, which looks almost exactly the same as the first.

Dan Llywelyn Hall was much-maligned for his expressionist-style painting in 2013, commissioned to mark the 60th anniversary of the Coronation.

The portrait, which showed the Queen sitting in an ornate chair with her hands in her lap, was condemned for its lack of realism and even compared to a drag queen by critics.

It was awful.

His latest effort shows the Queen sitting in the same position wearing the same red dress, but from a different angle.

It will be at the centre of an exhibition showcasing around 20 portraits of Great Britons in London.

The Welsh artist said the new painting "makes a different statement", and was not a response to the criticism of the first because he had worked on the two royal portraits at the same time.

He said the small number of people who had seen it said they could "relate to it more" and thought there was a "greater likeness".

Not much improvement.
 
What is wrong with these "artists"'s obnoxious portraits? Are they trying to ridicule royals? Or do the merely want attention?
 
When are people going to learn that's these aren't official portraits, but very artistic portraits of the painters design? I like it.
 
Odd. Very odd. Also, what is odd is that in the link given to the portrait, it says duchessofclarence. :eek:
