Amy Winehouse Painting Unveiled in London

A painting of late English singer Amy Winehouse was unveiled at the prestigious National Portrait Gallery in London.

Artist Marlene Dumas' melancholy piece, entitled Amy-Blue, was unveiled on Nov. 26, 2012.

It is the first painted portrait of Winehouse to be acquired by the gallery, which houses images of icons such as Sir Winston Churchill and Queen Elizabeth II.

The pale blue oil canvas, which depicts the singer wearing her trademark heavy eyeliner, has been given a wall to itself and is the first work that visitors see when entering the contemporary galleries.

Winehouse was found dead at her home here July 23 last year. She died as a result of an excessive amount of alcohol consumption. She was 27.
