Julia Gutman has won the 2023 Archibald prize for her portrait of the Australian singer Jessica Cerro, better known as Montaigne.

Announced at the Art Gallery of New South Wales on Friday, the winning painting Head in the sky, feet on the ground was picked unanimously by the judges. It marks the 13th time the prize has been awarded to a woman since the Archibald started in 1921; and the first time a female musician has been the subject of a winning portrait.
