Stephen Harper’s official portrait to be unveiled today
Stephen Harper’s portrait by Phil Richards joins the House of Commons collection, unveiled during a gala marking 20 years since Harper’s first election victory.
- On Feb. 3, 2026, an unveiling will add Harper's official portrait to a Parliament Hill ceremony marking the 20th anniversary of his election victory.
- With three portraits still missing from the prime ministerial portrait collection, the unveiling of Harper’s portrait fills a gap in the House of Commons foyer, West Block.
- The artist followed a multi-stage, collaborative process with the sitter, involving interviews, photos, sketches, and maquettes, as described by Johanna Mizgala, chief curator of the House of Commons.
- The unveiling ceremony for Stephen Harper’s portrait is followed by a fireside chat with Jean Chrétien and a celebration at Rogers Centre, set for the next night.
- Finished in late 2023, the painting's public reveal is occurring only now, and the portrait measures about 90 centimetres wide by 150 cm tall.
