The portrait of retired MHK Mr David Cannan as a former Speaker of the House of Keys is to go on display at the Isle of Man Arts Societys Easter Exhibition.

The portrait, by the acclaimed professional artist Svetlana Cameron, was commissioned by the Office of the Clerk of Tynwald in 2011 and hung in the House of Keys Chamber in October of that year.

Speaker of the House of Keys, the Hon Steve Rodan SHK said: The portrait has attracted favorable comments from many quarters and we were pleased to be able to accord Mrs Cameron the opportunity to display her work to a wider audience at one of the Islands most popular art exhibitions.

The portrait will be displayed together with a drawing in pastels of a child by Mrs Cameron at the exhibition, which will be held in the Villa Marina Arcade from Thursday April 5 to Friday April 13 between 10am and 5pm, (excluding April 13 when it will close at 1pm).

Mrs Cameron is currently engaged in a second portrait commission by the Office of the Clerk of Tynwald, that of former Chief Minister Mr Tony Brown as Speaker of the House of Keys.
