由京士頓(Kingston)藝術家Maggie Sutherland完成的總理哈珀全裸畫在京士頓(Kingston)的公共圖書館展出。這幅名為“皇帝的新裝”(Emperor Haute Couture)的畫顯示總理裸體倚在貴妃椅上，臉上帶著微妙的微笑。這幅畫標價5000元。作者Maggie Sutherland稱這幅畫參照了1863年馬奈（Edouard Manet）的一幅畫完成。這次展覽從5月10日開始至5月29日結束。

“Emperor Haute Couture” shows the prime minister reclining on a
chaise lounge wearing nothing but a subtle smile.
He is surrounded by people in suits, whose faces can’t be seen. A
dog rests at his feet as a woman in business attire offers him a Tim Hortons
cup on a silver platter.
The painting currently graces a wall at the Kingston public
library as part of an art competition that runs until the end of the month.
The oil on canvas was first displayed last fall at Toronto’s
Edward Day Gallery, which represents Sutherland.
Gallery owner Mary Sue Rankin says the painting is a figurative
piece that has a serious message about Mr. Harper not living up to his
promises.
Mr. Harper's Director of Communications, Andrew MacDougall,
reacted to the news on Twitter.
"On the Sutherland painting," he wrote, "we're not
impressed. Everyone knows the PM is a cat person."
