A portrait made by one of our MA History of Art students, Claire Anscomb, has been selected from over 1,000 entries to appear alongside paintings by some of Britain’s leading portrait artists.
Graced by portraits of royalty, celebrities, academics, mothers, daughters, fathers and sons, the exhibition is a feature of the social calendar.
This year about half of the work will be by eminent Members of the Society and half by emerging artists selected through the open submission.
With some 200 portraits on show this is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of recent portraits in the country with a special section on self-portraiture.
I am sure you will join us all in congratulating Claire on this excellent achievement! Her portrait ‘Veil’ can be seen here (right).
This year’s exhibition will be on display at Mall Galleries near Trafalgar Square between 16 April to 1 May 2015
More information on the exhibition can be found here.
