King George II of Great Britain
I made this art because I was curious about the King's look, because except his bright prominent eyes I found that the pictures that I have collected were different from one artist to another.
I have read that he didn't like to be seated and get his picture to be taken. But John Michael Rysbrack was one of the lucky artist who having the king to be seated twice and get a clay model of his bust portrait taken from life, and claimed that the likeness of the bust model was much approved.
I took the white marble version and coloring it in Photoshop, and combining it with a matching painting for his body, after tried some of George's painting, I found that Du Pan's work was fitting.
So if Rysbrack statue is the most accurate, he will look like this with his coronation robe.
