Wow, he can get it
It is a self portrait. They didn’t have TV back then, he could easily have devoted dozens of hours to painting himself as a sexy guy just for grins.
Wow. His ability to capture faces, they almost look like photographs. And they all are smiling these great smirky smiles. Thanks for posting!
