Explanation:

- Option 1: it - This option is a pronoun that does not definitively specify which portrait is being discussed. It would be unclear which portrait the artist is hoping to gain acclaim for.

- Option 2: that - This option refers to a specific portrait being discussed. It is often used to refer to something previously mentioned or assumed to be known by the speaker and listener.

- ?? Option 3: this - This option is used when referring to something that is physically present or is being presented at the moment. Here, "this portrait" would indicate the specific work the artist is currently focusing on.

- Option 4: these - This option is a plural form, which is not suitable since we are talking about a single portrait, not multiple portraits.

The correct choice is Option 3: this, as it best indicates the specific portrait the artist is viewing or thinking about.
