"Perhaps in painted faces it’s the mouth that holds the most personality, not the eyes." Wow, I think that may be true! While I admire them greatly, there is an force to these portraits that would overwhelm my home if they hung on my walls. Maybe it is the combination of the flat plane and the intensity of their gazes. Wonderful paintings!

I also like theportait of the man in the red-checkered vest. The face is so well done, so expressive. If you changed the clothes, it could also be an early renaissance Italian portrait.
