An 'absolutely stunning' photograph of Madonna posing naked on a bed while smoking a cigarette has sold for nearly £15,000.
The sum is three times the estimate placed on the image that was taken in 1990 during the period when the singer had bleach-blonde hair and dark eye make-up.
It is a black and white photo and Madonna has her breasts exposed and just a white sheet covering her pudenda while she lies on a bed.

She is holding a cigarette to her pouting lips and has adopted a sexy, sultry pose. During the year it was taken the star went on her 'Blond Ambition Tour.'
The performer said at the time, when she was aged about 31: 'I know that I'm not the best singer and I know that I'm not the best dancer.
'But, I can f*****g push people's buttons and be as provocative as I want. The tour's goal is to break useless taboos.
The photograph was taken by Steven Meisel and was signed and annotated 'ed no.1'. It was snapped up by an anonymous collector.
It measured 21.5 inches by 19 inches and was originally bought by the vendor from a New York gallery.
