It's a hazard of being one of the most painted women in the country – artists are always trying to put their stamp on you.
But judging by the reaction to this latest portrait of the Queen, the painter should have aimed for a simple likeness.
For while Dan Llywelyn Hall describes his work as ‘imposing’ and ‘expressionist’, his crueller critics said it resembled a ‘drag impersonator’ of the Queen or her Spitting Image puppet.
The 'Expressionist-style' painting was revealed at the Millennium Stadium - the home of Welsh sport - but was criticised as being a 'hideous cartoon' by the many rugby fans it is there to please.
Artist Dan Llywelyn Hall, the youngest person ever to paint the Queen, said he tried to 'get beyond her public image', but the monarch's 133rd portrait has not been warmly received.
I'm sorry.
