A new painting of the Danish royal family to celebrate the 150 years of the Glücksborg dynasty. The little dude in front is the firstborn of the crown prince.

I like it.

Why does the queen have no cigarette in her hand?

Yes, it's weird to see. But she has read the painting on the wall and does her smoking in private.

what`s wrong with the kid`s face? beside 300 years of inbreeding, of course.

I imagine it looks creepy so as to terrify any Danish Republicans into submission.  Do you really want that evil child coming after you?

Why do you insult his Australian heritage?

The sinister lighting makes his expression look pretty grim.

I dunno if he's supposed to be the anti-Christ, on second look he seems more like a child Odin.

Was a fairly interesting article until...

Then there's this eerie relevance: Stieve's work was the source of an explosive controversy in the 2012 U.S. elections. It's the basis for a claim that Republicans in Congress threw like a piece of dynamite into the abortion debate: The idea that women rarely or never get pregnant from rape.

 

But that's just Slate being Slate.

It would be, if it wasn't for the fact that your boys in the Grand Old Fetus Party have been tossing around that silly non-science bullshit since the early '80s.

Well that solves it: he has the face of a criminal.

Even if the Danish prince didn't look like a toad that picture would be creepy as hell because of the composition.

I was told that Scandinavians have light hair, so the picture confuses me on that note too.

The family is German and the ones who are married in are from Australia, France and Hong Kong (divorced, not pictured).
