My favourite portrait of George, I think
George Harrison by Terry O'Neill, 1990

Barry Feinstein's famous cover shot for George Harrison's 1970 album All Things Must Pass.
Here's another shot of George Harrison by Barry Feinstein. I've seen two dates for this: 1970 (during the All Things Must Pass shoot at Friar Park), and 1975 in Los Angeles. Either way, Feinstein captures something very personal about Harrison in spite of the formal pose.
