Harry Styles David Hockney portrait at London National Portrait Gallery: Full info on when it goes on display

A portrait of the Watermelon Sugar hitmaker will go on display at the National Portrait Gallery this week.

Celebrated artist David Hockney’s upcoming exhibition Drawing From Life will feature a portrait of chart-topping artist Harry Styles. The painting of the Hampstead singer will be displayed at the National Portrait Gallery this week.

Hockney’s Drawing From Life exhibition initially opened at the National Portrait Gallery in 2020. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the series was closed after just 20 days.

Returning to the Gallery in 2023, Hockney has added 30 new portraits to the exhibition, including a piece of the As It Was singer Harry Styles. The artist sat with the singer last June.

In the portrait, Styles is seen wearing a brightly coloured striped cardigan and blue jeans. To accessorise, the singer wore a pearl necklace as well as an assortment of rings.

The newly unveiled Hockney portrait of Styles comes after Madame Tussauds immortalised the singer in a series of new waxworks. The waxwork attraction created seven figures in the likeness of the singer that have gone on display around the world, as well as in the capital.
