There's two implications with this portrait:

Dracula painted it himself.

Dracula commissioned it from someone else. (Probably another vampire.)

And I don't know which is more adorable; Dracula taking up leisurely painting over the centuries or the concept of vampire artists for hire?

This portrait might indicate he hired someone else, but a self-portrait using a mirror is still a possibility.

Having a court painter was a status symbol in this time period, too, so maybe Dracula borrowed someone from one of his Generals?

That said, he also may have just painted it himself because he didn't want other vampires to know about his human wife for safety/privacy reasons at the the time either piece was painted. Alucard's pretty young in the second one, so I can imagine his existence being kept secret for quite a while.

Yeah, he also says he and Lisa painted Alucard's room, but there's a different skill level between interior decorating (pretty intricate constellation map considered) and portraiture. No reason to say he can't do both; just pointing that out.
