"Evidence also suggests [Oliver] Cromwell [Lord Protector of England] was a man of honesty. When commissioning a portrait of himself, he told the painter: 'I desire you would use all your skill to paint my picture truly like me ... warts and everything.' The artist duly obliged."
Commonly given as "warts and all", it is perhaps the most famous quote about a portrait in history.
And, of course, it works not only for rough-hewn Puritans overthrowing bewigged aristocrats but also for "wicked witches" as well!
