I like Hals a lot. The facial expressions really make the art for me. I have a feeling that I would like Hassam a lot more than I do now if I saw the art in person, but for now I will have to cast my vote for Hals.

Voting for Hals and genderfluid portraiture. Though I do like the messy room with the yellow irises.

I've kinda gotta thing for Hassam, but not quite enough of a thing. Hals.

Hals convinces me that other people are real.

Hals, though Hassam is lovely in a different way.
