This paiting makes the Royal Society of Portrait Painters show
This painting of Miles Jupp has been chosen for exhibition at this year s Royal Society of Portrait Painters annual show.
It features the comedian in character as David Tomlinson in James Kettle’s play The Life I Lead, about the Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks actor.
He sat for painter Martyn Burdon backstage at the Cambridge Arts Theatre, in costume and between performances.
The comic said: ‘I’m so thrilled with the picture. It’s such a lovely thing to be asked to do. Although it’s of a man in a bowler hat and wing collar, it is still very modern.
