Thor Pedersen was the Speaker of the Danish Parliament from 2007 to 2011 and had previously been Finance Minister in Fogh Rasmussen's government. Thor Pedersen is known as a very lively person who always has a gleam in his eye. He uses animated gestures to emphasise his views, a habit that the artist has clearly captured in this informal portrait.
