Honestly I think they both speak to the man at the time of the photo. It was about the impeachment and personal matters at the time of Plato's and today he is a humanitarian in his work who has mended bridges. The stool which get's to the original question of similarity is probably as simple as all studios have them, coincidence. Lovely images.

It had been a year after Clinton's impeachment trial, and the image had so many obvious queues: open legs, huge hands, big grin, tie pointing to his nether regions. that said, i think it's interesting to view the portraits through time. platon's work was really groundbreaking around this time, and peter yang is one of the hottest portraitist right now. really incredible juxtaposition in my mind. @Kathleen, your comments echo the controversy.

The open gesture of the 1st portrait is offensive....to "in your face". The second shot has a more relaxed gestue= open and sincere look. Both iportraits so are similar, changing the hand position transforms the resulting image 100 percent. The 2nd portrait gets my vote.
