Grayson Perry's sketch, as seen in the Guardian's Tuesday centre spread, shows a number of intriguingly unguessable establishment figures – but who are they? Perry, alas, will not be drawn on their identities. Indeed, the sketch is for a ceramic work whose title – Bad Portraits of Establishment Figures – suggests that not only is the artist unwilling to help us to identify them, but he wants to make the job as tricky as possible. Can you help?
The slightly bent-over figure (19) in an orange suit looks a shoo-in for David Hockney – the glasses make sure of that – but why, oh why, has Perry drawn him bald? Perhaps because he is not Hockney but Gilbert of Gilbert & George? The dungarees and beard make Peter Blake a cert for seven, and 16 resembles Perry himself, while Christopher Frayling is a candidate for number five.
Recent events suggest that the topless figure (23) may be the Duchess of Cambridge, although she won't be pleased that Perry has so comprehensively shunned the royal hairdresser. Clearly help is needed: can you spot anyone else? Add your suggestions below …
