This is the winning entry from this year's BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
It's by Wim Heldens and is entitled Distracted
It's a splendid portrait... but what's that pencil he's holding?
I have been to the NPG to see the painting first hand, and there is no visible brand name painted. The pencil is hexagonal with alternate dark and light blue faces. This is the best quality image I could find on the web.
Any ideas?

Dear Black Sal,
One dark blue / light blue pencil that springs to mind is the Nataraj Platinum:

I can't see it but the Staedtler Cadet is blue and white on alternating faces. It's the Cadet in the USA but something else in Europe, which I can't recall.
Staedtler Rally?
There's also the Faber-Castell Goldfaber with alternating silver and dark blue faces: http://www.penciltalk.org/2007/08/faber-castell-goldfaber-1222

Totally love how this came out--looks like something from an editorial. Love the feather earrings.

I vote for a Staedtler too, but the Mars Lumograph.
