Lily Allen's distinctive portrait, which graced the cover of her album West End Girl, has now found a new home at the National Portrait Gallery.
The striking artwork depicts Allen seated on a stool in a baby blue puffer jacket, adorned with white polka dots and matching white and black polka dot boots.
It went on public display on Thursday.
Visitors will have a year to view the piece at the prestigious London institution.
Commissioned by Allen herself from Spanish artist Nieves Gonzalez, the painting became the visual centrepiece for her fifth studio album.
The record, released in October, quickly garnered attention for its infectious melodies and candid lyrics, which reportedly delve into the alleged infidelity of her ex-husband, US actor David Harbour.
Allen said: “I’m so pleased to make this special painting available for everyone to see.
“Nieves captured the feel of the album so brilliantly and I knew immediately it would make a very strong album cover.”
The record, which was her first in seven years, contains a mix of “truth” and “fantasy”, according to Allen.
The 14-track album goes into explicit detail about the breakdown of a marriage that was “opened” after the “husband went astray”.
Allen added: “It seems to me the portrait reflects so many facets of the album – strength, power, vulnerability, determination and confusion, amongst many others – that it acts as a key to the whole listening experience. I love it.”
Gonzalez said having her painting displayed at the NPG was “overwhelming” and that she felt “enormously fortunate” to be part of the West End Girl “journey”.
Speaking about the piece, Gonzalez said: “I wanted it to be an intimate and direct image, but also powerful. To show her strength, her wisdom, through the eyes of the contemporary women that we are.
“That balance between the classical and the contemporary was essential to me.
“This work reflects how art and music come together in the act of creation, with all its layers and facets.
“Using the language of the great historical portraits is not about looking back, it’s about claiming that authority and putting it at the service of a new narrative.
Following the release of the album, Allen announced a string of shows where she would perform West End Girl in its entirety.
The tour kicked off in Glasgow on March 2 followed by shows across England and Wales, including Liverpool, Birmingham, Newcastle and Cardiff.
She will perform three nights at The London Palladium on March 20-22 before heading to Chicago for the US leg of the tour.
West End Girl peaked at number two in the UK album charts and was nominated for three Brit Awards – best album, artist of the year and pop act.
