THE Victorian pastime of creating a descriptive self-portrait by drawing a selection of your favourite things has inspired a new exhibition. The House of Illustration curated What Are You Like? exhibition, is a collection of self-revealing artworks by people in the public eye such as Andrew Marr, Jack Penate, Mary McCartney, Eric Clapton, Anna Ford and Brian Eno.

All participants were asked to pick eight favourites from 12 categories (food, transport, book etc) and present them in a preferred medium.

Visitors are invited to try and guess whose work is whose, as artists names don't appear alongside their piece.

At Dulwich Picture Gallery until Jan 18. 020 8693 5254.
