In 2019, American artist Stan Miller’s egg tempera portrait of Charles won second place in the Southwest Art Magazine Artistic Excellence Art Competition.

In the painting, Charles gazes intently, directly across to the left of the painting. At first glance, he appears sad, but a closer look at his furrowed brow reveals a man deep in thought. Miller has rendered Charles’s expression in such brilliant detail that just those few facial features evoke a curiosity as to just who Charles is.
