    What's with the jawline on that first one? Geez, looks like someone punched him mighty hard.

    Outstanding examples, to be sure! Truly magnificent.

    The forward jutting jawline is a minor genetic anamoly called a "Hapsburg Jaw" appropriately enough. Once you know it, you can see it every now and then, only not nearly so pronounced as in Leopold's case.

    The Salzburg Cathedral piece is gorgeous. The other two, well, I'm not really into Habsburg portraits ;) but they still are well done and well preserved.
