This is a portrait from a photo of Frida Kahlo. She is now a famous Mexican painter who was born on the 6th of July 1907, in Coyoacán, Mexico City, and died in 1954. She was married to another Mexican painter who was more well known than Frida at that time - Diego Rivera. Frida is well-known now for her self portraits which were often less than flattering, and which is, I suspect, why people love her.
A quote (from Wikipedia - "I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best."

I grew up on a mixed farm, until I went to high school aged 11 in the Wimmera district in Victoria Australia. At high school, unable to timetable both Art and Math, I studied the latter by correspondence in the school library. I was not very disciplined and spent most of my time looking through Art books. Later, I completed a Diploma in Fine Art (Painting), and a Graduate Diploma (Sculpture). Wanting to travel, I gained further qualifications in teaching, linguistics, and languages.

My work is largely auto-biographical and incorporates elements of my history and my future goals – even before I am consciously aware of these goals or historical references myself. I am currently drawing with a variety of mark-making media, and painting in both acrylic and oils.

I believe that practice, and physiological and mental predispositions, combined with life and incidental circumstances, confirm the direction and so-called talent of any individual. As humans who have evolved and endured, we sought patterns in nature which helped our species to survive. Now we revive those patterns in our culture. We see relationships everywhere; in nature, mathematics, science, storytelling, music and in the visual arts etc. We often are unconsciously aware of these patterns.
