Just day’s after Margaret Thatcher unveiled a new portrait of herself at Number 10, the first official portrait of David Cameron as Conservative leader has been released.

Painted by Jonathan Yeo, son of the Tory MP Tim Yeo, the oil on canvas portrait depicts Cameron looking relaxed and assured with hands in his pockets and no tie.

Yeo is no stranger to immortalising the great and the good, having previously painted Tony Blair, Prince Philip and Rupert Murdoch.

In 2007 Yeo caused something of a controversy when he produced a portrait of then President Bush made up of images from pornographic magazines. Yeo, who was a vocal opponent of the Iraq war, told the Sun at the time that he produced his ‘porn-trait’ for fun and not to offend, saying “I’m pleased with it.”
