Last updated: 7 October 2026
Study for Red Twink is a Rose Wylie print made for her 2026 Royal Academy show, The Picture Comes First. It is a lithograph with four collaged cut-outs and a cut, shaped edge, in an edition of 40. The Royal Academy shop sells it for £2,400, and it was available to buy on 7 October 2026.
What the Rose Wylie print is
Rose Wylie RA is a British painter whose work draws on films, celebrities and books. The Royal Academy made this print for The Picture Comes First, which ran in its Main Galleries from 28 February to 19 April 2026.
The print is based on a study Wylie drew for her 2002 painting Red Twink and Ivy. Rather than reproduce the drawing, the RA edition remakes it as a lithograph, with four collaged pieces and a shaped edge cut into the paper. Our Rose Wylie Royal Academy review covers the show it was made for.

The limits
£2,400 is a lot for a print of this size. Because the edge is cut to shape, framing it well means a float mount, which adds to the cost.
The exhibition has closed, so the edition is only on sale through the RA shop. Once the 40 have sold, there won't be more.
Where to buy it in the UK
The Royal Academy shop sells it directly. The RA is a member of the Own Art scheme, which offers finance for buying original art, and the shop page explains how to apply. For framing, our theprintspace discount code page covers money off printing and framing.
