"Portrait of Margaret, The Lady Thatcher" is a 1999 oil painting by American artist Nelson Shanks (1937-2015). The painting depicts the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Margaret Thatcher, in a formal pose, wearing a green gown with gold trim and a pearl necklace. Shanks's portrait of Thatcher is a classic example of a traditional, realist portrait that captures the subject's likeness and personality. The painting has been the subject of much controversy due to its perceived subtle criticisms of Thatcher's leadership and personality.
