Earlier this week, the Parliamentary Art Collection unveiled, to great acclaim, its newest item: a portrait of Theresa May by the British painter Saied Dai.
The painting was commissioned by the Speaker’s advisory committee on works of art , which serves to memorialise public servants who have made a significant contribution to UK political life. May’s inclusion, the parliamentary blurb notes, “recognises her service to the constituents of Maidenhead since 1997, as well as the variety of positions she has held since then”.
