But seriously folks...
Something we might all keep in mind; works are valued in later years by size and complexity as well as importance of the artist, importance of the piece, and yes, the artistic merit of the piece.
Several of these things we may not be allowed to factor in just now and others the reality of the market will take care of for us. But keeping this in mind, size matters and per square inch is how it's done. I and most artists I follow, charge less per inch as work gets larger (on the curve) dollars per sq. inch.
Portraits are special and number of persons being represented plainly increases the task. Most everyone factors that into the math. This is one of those things that needs not be reinvented by us. Others have worked out logical methods over the years.
