Speaking of Elizabeth I, (no don't read back cause we were not. . .)
but we were speaking of Helen Mirren playing the Queen. And I just watched the 2 part miniseries (roughly 3 hours) with her as Elizabeth I. I can very easily see how she was cast in the part of Elizabeth II in The Queen. She rather remarkably combines majesty with human heart and of course back in the 1500s it was very much a different monarchy. Very complex performance. I was transfixed.
So Mr Ploos. . . no heads on pikes for the likes of artisans like us. . .more like hung, drawn and quartered. It's the artist's way. An' Lucien Freud may be a case in point from the look of yer paintin'. I take that ta mean that sentence would be to pose nude for life drawing and then given lodgin' over the stables. I guess the sentence fits the crime.
