In my opinion any person is worthy of a portrait, but for several reasons there are only a few taken under the brush.

The challenge is the painters. He is the one that has to decide the pose, outfit and expression. Anyway we have to choose among the possibilities.

As long as the painting is a portrait of the person and not the outfit.

There are too may suits in traditional portraiture.
