I love it! Very clever. I also like the addition of the Monarch butterfly - apparently the King’s idea. We can interpret our own thoughts to this symbolism can’t we? The King looks relaxed, thoughtful and relatable I think. Yeo is a friend of the King maybe that’s why he looks so at ease.

What do you think of it?

Thank you MissAdventure I have found it and his other work. I had never heard of him before. His faces and hands are amazing.
The Camilla one is very insipid although again the face and hands are extraordinary. Surely he must now paint her again more vividly to reflect her position now or both of them together.

I wonder if he will?
His work is definitely compelling, isn't it?

I'd love to see Charles and Camilla together.
