I am happy to say

that in my forties I was a better
painter of portraits than Lucian Freud was
at seventeen.  He disowned this early effort...














...and my portraits never improved.























PS

for comparison, here is a portrait of Moise Kisling
by Modigliani.
















Finally, this is a very fine and more recent
self-portrait in the 'realist' tradition
by Yasuo Kuniyoshi.
