A painting of a heavily pregnant Sienna Miller has been unveiled in a new exhibition.
Artist Jonathan Yeo said the work, which is painted in oils, showed the actress in a "moment of transition between youth and parenthood''.
Miller posed for him only weeks before she gave birth to her
daughter, Marlowe, earlier this year.
The painting has gone on show in an exhibition in Berlin, called (I've Got You) Under My Skin, and Yeo said he deliberately chose not to show it in the UK first.
The 41-year-old, who has also painted stars including Nicole Kidman and Dennis Hopper, said: "For me it seemed both appropriate and necessary to exhibit these images of the flesh in Germany: a country with a more relaxed attitude to the corporeal, where the exposed body is not automatically sexualised or considered taboo. In Britain by contrast, the media and public tend to sensationalise the body, and are often unable to view it without scandal.''
