Sherlock actors Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are among the faces who feature in the Royal Academy's annual Summer Exhibition - after being painted by their co-star Una Stubbs.
The watercolour portraits of the pair are among more than 1,250 artworks chosen for inclusion for the celebrated display at the London Gallery.
Stubbs plays Mrs Hudson in the BBC1 detective drama, alongside who she refers to as "my boys" - Cumberbatch as Sherlock Holmes and Freeman as John Watson.
Her paintings feature among works by well-known artworld figures such as Yinka Shonibare, Conrad Shawcross, Ed Ruscha and Anselm Kiefer.
The 77-year-old has talked in the past of how she would have loved to be an artist had she not become an actress.
"I'd like to have been a figurative painter.
"I would love to have gone to art school.
"I've had two exhibitions and I've sold quite a lot, but I usually paint people in the street or in cafes," she said in an interview.
Although many of the works at the Summer Exhibition are available to buy, hers are not for sale.
