The unmedicated mind never rests, but here I am, and I propose an amendment to my entry in the quick-draw naming competition.

A portrait can, of course, display much more than a head. Also, however composed or imagined, the portrait is significantly the product of a sure hand.

Therefore, substituting the Latin for hand, I offer:

Veritas manus (VAYR-'e-toss MAH-noose)

to denote such efforts.

Not only is it much more apt, but the initial assignment -- to somehow implicate Judge Learned Hand -- is fulfilled.

Q.E.D.
