We've seen it all (and more) before. But this nude picture of Carla Bruni is still expected to fetch a high price when it goes up for auction in Berlin next week.
Only ten numbered copies exist of the image of the French First Lady taken by U.S. photographer Pamela Hanson, and this one is being sold with a reserve price of around £3,000.
It was shot in 1994, at the height of Miss Bruni's modelling fame when she was 26 and dating rock legend Mick Jagger.
The intimate bare-breasted image of the 41-year-old French president's wife is 16ft by 24ft and is entitled Carla Bruni In Bed.
It's release comes as pictures emerged of the former model frolicking around in a bikini with husband Nicolas Sarkozy in the South of France.
The pair enjoyed a weekend of relaxation at their Cap NĂ©gre home and were seen having a dip in the sea together and soaking up the sun.
Though risque, the latest nude picture of Miss Bruni is far less revealing than the full-frontal photo of her which fetched £60,000 a year ago.
A nude sketch of the First Lady is also being sold in Paris next month as part of an exhibition of glamour girls called 'Pin-Up'.
