What Artist Would You Choose to Paint Your Portrait?

I recently asked you what artist you'd want to paint your portrait...

Kenju would've chosen Andrew Wyeth to paint her portrait.

Dianne,  this painter would certainly do you justice.

Young Woman Drawing, 1801
Marie-Denise Villers 

(French, 1774–1821)
Oil on canvas

63 1/2 x 50 5/8 in. (161.3 x 128.6 cm)
Mr. and Mrs. Isaac D. Fletcher Collection, Bequest of Isaac D. Fletcher, 1917 (17.120.204)

At one time ascribed to Jacques-Louis David, this alluring portrait has now been recognized as the work of Marie-Denise Villers. Although little known today, Villers was a gifted pupil of Girodet and exhibited in the Salons, where her portraits attracted attention. This work, which may be a self-portrait, was exhibited in the Salon of 1801.

 Jams O'Donnel commissioned William Hogarth

and here he is with a self-portrait entitled
Hogarth Painting the Comic Muse. 

c.1757

National Portrait Gallery, London, UK.

Although I would never, ever, ever recommend that my friend Singing Bear have his portrait "painted" by Jackson Pollock, I did want to honor his request. Only for a blog pal like Singing Bear (for the longest time I called him  Dancing Bear. It's a wonder he still speaks to me!) But about Jackson Pollock - he is virtually the only famous painter I can think whose work I don't like  --  at all.    :-o 

1951

 There are actually a couple of shapes in this one that strongly resemble people. It's an screen print, though, not a painting

Susan would want to painted in the style of Rembrandt's Danae. 
 Stunning.

This is a detail from Rembrant's great work taken from Greek mythology. Danae is generally portrayed in her locked room as Zeus arrives in the form of a shower of gold. Their offspring was Perseus. Danae was locked away by her father, Acrisius, because the oracle had foretold that her son would kill him. When he discovered the union of Zeus and Danae, Acrisius locked her and her son in a chest that was set adrift. Eventually, they were rescued on the shore of Seriphus. With the change in venue, came a change in the outcome. Instead of killing his grandfather, Perseus killed King Polydectes of Seriphus, who tried to force himself on Danae.

For me, it would be Rembrandt Da Vinci in the Mona Lisa style
(You are all very kind to not have corrected me but it did take me a couple of days before I discovered this mistake.)
