Daphne Todd was formerly President of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (1994–2000) and has won several prizes for portraiture including the Huntington National Art Prize 1984 and the Ondaatje Prize 2001. Her work was included in the BP Portrait Award in 1983 and 2007 and is included in the collections of Her Majesty The Queen, the National Portrait Gallery and the Science Museum.

Baron Armstrong of Ilminster served as Principal Private Secretary to the Prime Minister (1970-75) and Secretary of the Cabinet (1978-87). Todd painted him at his Somerset home and said of the sittings ‘he keeps very still and “enters into the spirit of things”, as he puts it.’
