If I didn't know anything about painter or subject - I could draw the following conclusions.
1. The painter's opinion of the sitter's character is quite low (expression is one of holding one's breath almost in anger).
2. The artist did the piece quickly, and had no love for his own work, like my daughter rushing through homework. (eyes don't match up or anything).
3. Going out on a limb, considering I just read the thread about artist using photos. It looks very much like a cropped photo of an action group shot I've seen somewhere in the grocery store check out lane (was that tooooo harsh).
