Carla


This is the photo that threatens to draw all the attention away from the state visit by French President Nicolas Sarkozy.
It's of his new wife, Italian-born model and singer Carla Bruni, photographed in 1993 by Michel Comte.
Christie's has released it to promote the sale of the Gert Effering collection in New York in April.
The collection includes photographs of other celebrity models including Kate Moss and Gisele Bundchen.
Critics say the auctioneers are guilty of shameless opportunism - others would argue their timing is immaculate.
