St. Thomas More

My girlfriend's parents have a gilded frame replica of this painting hanging in their library. It took me by surprise the first time I saw it. One snowy Saturday, I stumbled upon the real painting at the Frick. Once again, total surprise. I stood and stared.

To my millions of readers, any idea why?

Given the many millions of readers, I'm amazed that no one has yet ventured a guess. Perhaps you think the painting looks like someone in our family? Prominent nose, dark circles around the eyes, spiffy cap and collar. It must be me!

I think it looks EXACTLY like Bill. Simon agrees. No one else seems to see the resemblance!

I saw it as soon as I realized you weren't talking about the necklace!!!
