The portrait of Diana that Prince Charles is letting go to his display of
art is located at
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_139000/139103.stm It is a
beautiful painting. Susie

Agreed. I do not think the likeness of Diana to really capture
her, but it is one of the few pictures I have seen in which that
wedding dress does not overwhelm her.

I think it is a terrible painting.It is all chocolate boxy and frilly,
not at all like her then.In fact I get the impression that Charles saw
her in this rather gooey light in the beginning and wanted to find an
artist to capture this unrealistic picture of her.He obviously fell in
love with a dream not a person!

The dress is rendered much better than the face IMO.
