Well done on such painting a superb portrait and it certainly is one of the best we have had of the Queen . Well done for getting the license and putting in the hours of background work we know goes into the preparation.

The reference image of the portrait is an official photograph taken by Dennis Constantine in 1982 and it is currently in the Primary Collection of the NPG.
