Specsavers Home Visits / Carers UK: The Most Valuable Portrait

Specsavers Home Visits and Carers UK have unveiled the UK’s ‘The Most Valuable Portrait’, serving as a powerful tribute to the vital contributions of carers who so often remain hidden. The portrait by critically acclaimed artist Colin Davidson, has been assigned a symbolic value of £184 billion by Roseberys, a leading London fine art auction house. The valuation represents the staggering estimated economic value of unpaid carers every year and their incredible, yet often overlooked, contribution to society. While the striking portrait features the face of Jaycee La Bouche, who cares for her mother, it represents the myriad of British carers and their experiences. To highlight the value of unpaid carers even further, ‘The Most Valuable Portrait’ was unveiled at the Saatchi Gallery and put on public display at London’s South Bank encased in a secure box and guarded by round-the-clock security. The portrait has been put up for sale via an online auction, with all proceeds going to Carers UK.
