Instead, her enigmatic, invented heads make room for multiple interpretations and projections. Dan an Elvira discuss questions of representation and agency that are raised by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye\u2019s work, particularly when placed it in dialogue with examples of portraiture, by Anthony van Dyck and Rembrandt van Rijn, from the Fitzwilliam Museum\u2019s remarkable print collection.
