Artists have been the subject of 35 Archibald Prize-winning portraits, including 13 self-portraits. The first was in 1923 when WB McInnes won for a painting titled Portrait of a lady. Although the sitter was initially unnamed, it was revealed to be McInnes's wife Violet, an artist in her own right who would later enter portraits in the Archibald herself.
