Hilary Mantel 1952 -2022

We are so sad to learn of the passing of author Hilary Mantel.

In 2014 we had the honour of meeting her at the unveiling of Nick Lord’s portrait painting of her, commissioned and hung to this day in the British Library.

The portrait of the Booker Prize-winning novelist become the first painting of a living writer to be displayed in the British Library.

The Wolf Hall author said she was "thrilled" with the finished portrait.
