The massive painting revealed on North Korean state television shows leader Kim Jong-un wearing a western-style suit and tie.
He's smiling broadly.
The unveiling came during Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel's state visit to Pyongyang this week.
Kim's father and grandfather's portraits hang in every North Korean home as well as in public spaces.
The portraits are a central element in North Korea's domestic propaganda. And it appears Kim is now following in the family footsteps.
