The #NationalPortraitGallery is cashing in with the #PaulMcCartney exhibition at £22 - £24 per ticket, £19 for concessions ...... think we paid £8 for Annie Leibovitz the other year!

I recognize Jonathan Ross, David Cameron, and Meryl Streep, and a young David Frost; but cannot quite put names to the other faces.

The one on the bottom right my faulty memory is telling me is some Russian bloke. Tip of my tongue. Been on the telly. Gah! What _is_ his name?

The #NationalGallery has a new pic, a portrait acquired jointly with the #NationalPortraitGallery and made possible by a descendant of the sitter, Algernon Marsden. Sir Martyn Arbib, a self made City man and Conservative Party donor 😮, generously stumped up the cash (I think).

There's an irony here, too, as following a DCMS export ban in June it demonstrates that direct Gov intervention can and does occur for the good of all. Where there's a will.

There's a new kid in town, a portrait acquired jointly with the #NationalPortraitGallery and made possible by a descendant of the sitter, Algernon Marsden. Sir Martyn Arbib is a Conservative Party donor who made good in the City 😮, I think he generously stumped up the cash.

Despite the many fantastic, breathtaking art and famous figures, this is my absolute fave at the NPG in D.C.

And that cigarette in her hand.
Not healthy, yet she was an epic badass.
