An oil painting featuring Madonna and her ex-husband Guy Ritchie naked is to go under the hammer. The 2005 work titled Madonna And Guy, one of several nudes of the star by Peter Howson, is expected to fetch up to £22,00 when it goes on sale at McTear’s in Glasgow next Saturday.

“There is no doubt that the recent split of Madonna and Guy has generated increased interest in the painting,” the Telegraph quoted Brian Clements from the auctioneers as saying.

“The painting created a huge amount of controversy when it was unveiled a few years ago and I think it’s safe to say it is one of a kind,” Brian added.

Madonna herself owns several of Howson’s paintings. Earlier this year, a nude photograph of Madonna was sold for £26,100 at a New York auction.
