Here's my cold blooded two cents. I would think that a portrait of this important man hanging in a great public place (just a couple of miles from where I grew up) would transcend the sentimental memories of a wife. This will hang long after she has retired from service. My guess is that she is not commissioning this portrait. I would also question whether the first photo portrays qualities of compassion and dedication or simply a man having a good time at a cocktail party. I might vote for curtain #2 with some reference to the eyes in #3. Boy that sounds way harsh but I'm going to leave it.
