Thanks for posting that, Tom.
What a rare luxury it would be as an artist to be allowed to paint the man inside the role, like that frail old gentleman wrapped in the Rockefeller name. So many official portraits, in particular, paint only the job and the symbols, and leave out the humanity.
Not only are there few artists who would be given the leeway to paint this sort of a portrait of an important figure, there are few important figures who have the security of self to allow themselves to be portrayed in such a vulnerable manner.
