Warren Lane’s portrait of mining magnate Gina Rinehart eating chocolate cake under the gaze of daughter Ginia has won the 2013 Bald Archy Prize.
The Melbourne artist based his work, The Banquet of Gina and Ginia, on the 17th century Dutch painting by Jan Victors, The Banquet of Esther and Ahasureus. This has been a popular subject throughout the history of painting, and Warren Lane saw parallels between the biblical story and the Rinehart family feud.
