On 23 July 2013 the Rt Hon Michael Foot, who died in 2010, would have turned 100.
To mark the occasion the Art in Parliament website explores two portraits of the former Labour Party Leader from the Parliamentary Art Collection.
Painted by John Bratby RA (1928-92) and Robert Lenkiewicz (1941-2002), the portraits are among the many important works by leading artists in Parliament’s contemporary collection.

The Parliamentary Art Collection holds over 8,000 works of art. It is owned jointly by the House of Commons and the House of Lords and is displayed throughout the buildings of the Parliamentary Estate.
