Dandy

I see that The National Portrait Gallery has commissioned a new portrait of the Queen and the Duke as part of an exhibition to mark next year’s Diamond Jubilee called ‘The Queen: Art and Image’. Very stylish it is too - beautiful spark of colour on the seat and dark lighting in the background, great use of space around the subject - a real refeshing image of the couple I think.

The choice of the German Thomas Struth to create a stronger contemporary feel was clearly a good decision. Let’s hope for Tom’s sake she likes it too!
