"He looks a little too thin to be Giuliani, but they always try to make paintings look flattering."

The portrait, unveiled at a ceremony inside City Hall this week, shows Giuliani wearing a dark pinstripe suit - in a tribute to the New York Yankees.

The subtle nod to his favorite team didn't help New Yorkers recognize Giuliani as the man on the canvas.
