The eyes seem to follow you around the room...

I cringed when I saw it for the first time. Then I decided it isn't so bad. The slightly bowed head, the rather shy demeanour, and big simile does remind one of Diana. I still don't like looking at it though.

Yes, it's certainly an unusual, and not especially flattering representation of the late Princess.

Talking of eyes that follow you round, when I was at Junior School, we had various prints by old masters, adorning the walls of the dining room, many of them portraits. I remember one in particular, whose eyes always seemed to be boring straight through you. He had a somewhat contemptuous look on his face, as though he was thinking of the person he was looking at as a complete idiot. I always imagined him saying, "Seriously, how can you eat that rubbish?"  

Happy days.

I wouldn't mind the eyes following me round the room. It's the teeth that spook me...
