Theresa May: Portrait of former prime minister unveiled
A portrait of Theresa May , Britain's second female Prime Minister , has been unveiled in Parliament.
Saied Dai painted the picture which will hang in Portcullis House , Parliament's office complex where many MPs work.
The £28,000 painting was commissioned by the Speaker's Advisory Committee on works of art.
Mrs May said The Portrait was a " huge honour".
The former Prime Minister , who left Downing Street in May 2019, is portrayed holding A Lily of The Valley - a plant which usually flowers in the month of May .
Mr Dai said: " In this portrait, the aim was to produce not just a convincing physical likeness, but also a psychological characterisation, both individual and yet archetypal - imbued with symbolism and atmosphere.
" A good painting needs to be a revelation and also paradoxically, an enigma. It should possess an indefinable Quality - in short, a mystery. "
Mrs May , who is the MP for Maidenhead, has been described as a " well devoted Parliamentarian and a dedicated public servant" by fellow Conservative MP Dean Russell .
Mr Russell, who serves as chairman of the Speaker's Advisory Committee on works of art, said: " The Parliamentary art collection records those who have made an important contribution to politics and public service here in the UK.
" Few embody this More Than Theresa May - our second female Prime Minister . "
