The story behind this never-seen-before portrait of Princess Diana
An oil painting of Princess Diana is on display in London for the first time ever.
Per People, the artwork – titled Diana, Princess of Wales – was completed by artist Nelson Shanks in 1994, just three years before Diana's tragic death in Paris. It will be featured in the Philip Mould & Company gallery in the British capital until 6 July.
According to a post about the painting on Instagram, "the sittings for this portrait took place at a critical moment in Diana's personal life" and was created "over the course of thirty sittings and thirty-five hours".
The caption, alongside a video showing off the portrait, adds that "Nelson Shanks' London studio became a place of solace and refuge for Diana" during her sittings, where she grew close with Shanks and his wife, Leona.

"There is something here for everybody – Not only is the music obviously sublime, but the Beatles themselves are some of the best 'characters' on TV right now, and they're a real pleasure to hang out with for all those hours." - The Beatles: Get Back by Ilan Preskovsky
