A sculpture inspired by a desire to bring a contemporary "everywoman" to Trafalgar Square has been unveiled on London's Fourth Plinth.
Lady In Blue by New York artist Tschabalala Self, which pays homage to a young, metropolitan woman, is the 16th artwork to feature on the plinth since 1998.
The bronze and blue figure replaces Mil Veces un Instante (A Thousand Times in an Instant) by Teresa Margolles.
The statue has been patinated with a pigment refined from Lapis Lazuli, a semi-precious stone that has been used by artists for millennia.
Self said she had set out to put an ordinary contemporary Londoner on a site more usually associated with statues of monarchs and military commanders.
"My work Lady In Blue will bring to Trafalgar Square a woman that many can relate to," the artist said.

Tschabalala? How the heck do you even pronounce it?
Disgusting, unflattering, uninspiring, self-serving, grotesque personification of slovenly lifestyles and laziness filled with self entitlement.
Wow that’s super racist looking.
“Everywoman” in the UK is now an overweight black woman? But they forgot the hijab!
No no. It’s the new face of Ozempic. Heard it here yesterday.
Everywelfarequeen.
Every woman?
I love it when worthless looters and moochers out up statues and awards for themselves. I enjoy the comic relief.
DAYUM! That is ONE UGLY BEEOTCH!
I suppose I ought to add she is thinner than most of the black women I’ve known...perhaps the artist could have painted a basketball black and given it arms and legs. That would be more realistic.
That ain’t Chaka Khan.
As my dad would say, she’s BUFF
Does the statue got them a aborting their in utero children and then strangling they were already born ones with Molock right behind her looking on with pride
So it was NOT racist to put Sarah Baartman on display? I’m confused.
