That’s Beethoven. I know his hair is a bit long, but that’s a man. He does look a bit miffed, but can you blame him? Being deaf when you’re a composer must not have been pleasant.

If you don’t recognise someone else, they are named in the brief.

Also was curious, it is Maria Callas. Opera singer.

The angry one is Ludwig van Beethoven.

I guess of the designs with people I only like designs E and F. There the expressions don't look too odd. Takes some getting used too though.
