Portrait of Kate Middleton by Paul Einsley

This portrait is not as subtle as the Mona Lisa, but is better than most people think. It contrasts the eyes (mental) and mouth (physical) realistically and seductively, but this makes it look overstated and not British. Great art is not as explicit and closed-minded. The blow-up seems to be a parody of Freud's mini portrait of the Queen. "Proper" portraits are always a tad smaller than life size. After all, this is the Duchess of Cambridge no less.
