| Interestingly one of the points I gained in my work Zoom quiz triumph this lunchtime was for knowing that MW wrote Vindication of the Rights of Woman.

| I actually really like Maggi Hambling. Well, her work at least. She's a pretty formidable old boot in all honesty. I do feel that she's pushed the 'qu**r' envelope a bit far on this one though. Also, facially, it looks considerably like MH than it does MW.

| They didn't even include a model of Frankenstein, and that's her only good book.  _________________  |

| I prefer the original. The only thing is, I’m not sure the butterfly could survive flames of that magnitude. I’m taking it to be either a warning of climate change, or a symbolic request by portraiture that Charles wishes to be cremated instead of buried.
I’d take the butterfly out, and maybe just an add underneath ‘1948 - 202?, Courtesy of Golders Green Crematorium - no matter who you are you can count on us when you need our service, rest assured’, with the appropriate corporate logo beside it. |

| Baphomet is trending on Twitter because people reckon they can see him in the painting. _________________ |

I thought it was one of the queens eyes and one of Princess Margaret’s eyes. The latter (our right, his left) complete with false eyelash effect. |
