King Charles’ First Official Portrait Is Unveiled: It’s Eight Feet Tall, Features A Sword, A Butterfly And A Lot Of Red
Painted by Jonathan Yeo, the eight-foot-tall work features the king's face looking benignly down at the viewer, his visage is set off by a sea of red behind him.
His visage is set off by a sea of red behind him which blends with his uniform, reportedly that of the Welsh Guards, a division of the British Army in which Charles is regimental colonel. Yeo has painted luminaries such as Charles’ wife, Queen Camilla, British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron, Dennis Hopper, Nicole Kidman, Sir David Attenborough, Jamie Oliver and Rupert Murdoch. Earlier this month, the Times predicted the royal commission “will likely reconfirm Mr. Yeo’s status as the go-to portraitist of his generation for Britain’s great and good, as well as for actors, writers, businesspeople and celebrities from around the world.”
