I've had close-up looks at some of these portraits, and they always seem to painted quite thickly. I wonder if that was a 'style', or if it had something to do with the paint they used? This guy looks very 'modern'.
They are all (I think) encaustic (that's bees-wax medium, for those who might not already know), so that's going to thicken them up quite a bit.Yes, this one bears a striking resemblance to the man who parked the SUV in Times Square recently...
