Limited edition picture sold at auction to anonymous UK private buyer
The world is hardly short of pictures of Kate Moss. But for some people, seeing her on billboards or in magazine shoots is obviously not enough.
Today an original print of a nude shot of her taken in her early days of modelling - and said to be one of her personal favourites - sold for £16,250 at auction.
