Is that the official portrait?
It depends on what the definition of the word “is” is.
This is hanging in the National Portrait Gallery and is the official one. I hate it and it looks so much worse in person.
Obviously you are allowed to like and dislike whatever art you want. But the thing I like about this portrait in person is it looks better the farther away you look at it. When you examine the portrait up close it doesn't look like a real person. For someone who probably wants us all to look at his whole life and not focus at certain parts, I think it's a pretty good portrait.
