National Portrait Gallery: Trio of Pieces

The National Portrait Gallery is tucked behind the National Gallery and must not be missed.  Portraits of monarchs and modern icons mingle in this jewel of a gallery.

Painted at the time of her engagement.

 Anna Wintour; 2009
by Alex Katz
This was the first time she has sat for a portrait.
