New Zealand's teen pop superstar Lorde has been immortalised by one of the country's top artists.
A photograph of the unframed oval painting by Peter Stichbury was posted by the Takapuna songstress on the image-sharing website Instagram this week.
Ella Yelich-O'Connor, known as Lorde, revealed the newly finished work to her followers and excitedly announced on the social media site: "Had the honour of being painted by Peter Stichbury a while back!"
Stichbury, who has also painted singers Natalie Imbruglia and Bic Runga, looks to symbols and iconography of the moment for inspiration.
Art+Object's art department manager Leigh Melville, said she wasn't surprised to learn that Lorde had featured in his latest work.
