I love it. Think it captures the King and is contemporary.

I like it too and agree with *Jane43

I think it’s fantastic, such a change from the traditional portraits and the likeness of King Charles is very good.

Good for Charles, going for something a bit different.

I think it looks like a death mask. I wonder what the artist’s thoughts were when creating it. It’s certainly powerful and dramatic.

His face is very good, and his hands, but so much red.

It’s certainly different.

I like it. It’s different but it’s also clearly King Charles and seems to capture the face we’re all so familiar with

Haven’t seen it as yet but will report back😁

Hmm, the artistry is good, but I'm not sure about all that red.

Looks like Just Stop Oil got to it first.

I love it, DH doesn’t. HH’s face is wonderful.
