HereĀ“s an illustration for Private Equity News, based on Joseph Karl Stieler's 1820 portrait of Beethoven - the only known portait of the composer painted from life. This, you will notice however, is a portrait of Taylor Swift. The subject is the dispute the singer had over the rights to her songs, which saw her re-recording many of them to outflank the record company. Her face is a surprisingly good fit for this portrait, I feel.
