This painting is fun. I almost feel like they are watching me :-D

Like the friend has suggested Raphael paint you next, and he's giving it serious thought!

I would be stoked to have a Raphael of me :-)

At a guess, the one looking directly at the observer (a mirror) because it would be very difficult to paint one's own face looking away. The one in front was probably painted first, then he added himself behind, using a mirror. And considerable skill, getting the perspective and lighting right.

Amazing, too, how these oldtimey artists got the number of fingers right almost every time!
