Thanks gesang and urbandweller,

That's 2 votes for Cobbe,1 for Fu Xiru,and zilch for Shakespotter.

I just managed to upload the Cobbe though it is a little widened.Not sure whether to crop it so it fits in without distortion or just include the whole portrait distorted.Think I'll leave it as is.

I agree with Gesang about the 2nd one looking too much like Potter..all he needs is that stupid scar on his forehead!

I'd go with the classical looking mate! Those old portraits are spooky yet timeless. Reminds of one of those funny trick paintings where the eyes seem to follow you!

1. nice idea for a group bababardwan. I am sure if Shakespeare had been able to talk chinese he would have written lots of famous chengyu  :-) ha ha

2. as the second picture reminds me of Harry Potter without  the scarf I vote for the classical portrait ;)
