The King has unveiled the first completed official portrait of himself since the coronation, which includes one detail Charles suggested should be added.
The portrait, by British artist Jonathan Yeo, was commissioned in 2020 to celebrate the then Prince of Wales’s 50 years as a member of The Drapers’ Company in 2022.
The portrait, which was unveiled on Tuesday afternoon at Buckingham Palace, depicts Charles wearing the uniform of the Welsh Guards, of which he was made Regimental Colonel in 1975.
The uniform of the Welsh Guards inspired the colour red, which was painted over much of the portrait, as Yeo said he felt like this portrait should have more of a “dynamic and contemporary feel”.
A butterfly is hovering over the King’s shoulder in the portrait, which was added in by Yeo at Charles’s suggestion.

Bloody hell! Looks like it's from a Hammer Horror film with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing.😮

Looks like one of the portraits of an old Vincent Price movie Fall of the House of Usher.

I like it, but far from being an artist let alone one in a position to critique the art coming out from another. I remember being on a ship ( as a Novice in training to be a Catholic Priest ). A few of us and others we didn`t know were having a look at some of the bottlels of wine and I gave my opinion on one bottle I had an opinion on - on the grounds that I`d drank a glass or two of it. The senior one of us raised his voice so that all could hear and said. " David, don`t talk about things you know nothing about," to which I immediately replied, " I know I don`t know anything about wine - all I was saying was that I liked `this` particular kind." He didn`t say another word. `Nothing more pretentious than having to dig to find reasons......

Honestly pretty good piece if the intended goal was to represent Charles as an embodiment of the hellfire unleashed by the rapacious, pillaging armies that are responsible for every single evil piece of wealth and power his family currently has. Looks like a Vertigo comics panel in somethin by Alan Moore, could literally drop it into From Hell and it would fit🤣

He looks like on the portrait as a Field Marshall who was murdered by his generals and put into a bathtub full of blood. I do not like that its red. Its uncanny.
