It is a shame the painting didn't really capture the expression of the original photo. He just looks slightly bored.

That's my first thought. There's so many layers of emotion in the original picture. I guess they can't use the original picture due to copyright or something like that.

Imagine he went to the museum, look at the painting, feel disappointed and make the original pose and expression :))
