There are only two styles of portrait painting; the serious and the smirk.
~ Charles Dickens ~
Sir Joshua would have been glad to take her portrait; and he would have had an easier task than the historian at least in this, that he would not have had to represent the truth of change --only to give stability to one beautiful moment.
~ George Eliot ~
I had rather see the portrait of a dog that I know, than all the allegorical paintings they can show me in the world.
~ Samuel Johnson ~
