This week, a new portrait of H. M. the Queen was unveiled. The artist, Darren Baker, is well-known for his classical realist style, which has in his latest work been complemented by his choice of medium, oil, providing a realistic, natural portrayal of The Queen. It should come as no surprise that H. M. is dressed in regal blue, a statement which stands out against the contrasting red of the multiple remembrance day poppies resting on her brooch.
