In response to 'Van Dyck and Britain' at Tate Britain, Turner Prize winning artist Gillian Wearing has created 'Lily Cole' (2009). Wearing frequently uses masks and prosthetics to disguise the sitter in her portraits. Here the well known model and actress Lily Cole wears a mask of herself. Broken and cracked in places, the mask makes her seem like a sadly damaged porcelain doll.
