Sir Sean Connery nude found among late artist's works

[muriel_volestrangler]

A nude painting of Sir Sean Connery has been discovered in a Scottish Borders artist's unseen collection.

It was painted in 1951 when the James Bond star was working as an unknown nude model for Edinburgh students.

The oil on canvas - thought to be worth thousands of pounds - was discovered by relatives of artist Rab Webster, who died last month aged 83.

How much for a nude 21-year old Connery? I'd guess quite a lot.

1. Nude modeling just to pay the bills and get by?

Glad to see he never hit such a low point in his career ever again.

2. Shoot

It's a 'rear view' portrait, not that there's anything wrong with that.:

10. Looks like he's wearing a g-string type thingy. I thought models for art classes posed totally

nude??

11. I know I did

But I did my life modeling at the end of the permissive 1970's and I didn't have that third leg to worry about. I still don't ;)

4. I bid 50 godzillion dollars!

Actually he didn't get to be a turn-on for me until he got older, but there was a window in there where...yum.

5. Ah, the politically incorrect choice...

8. It's a picture of his naked ass, not his dumbassed, arrogant personality.

Fantasy is often better than reality, eh?

9. Who knows?

It's not a very good painting, though.

:evilgrin:

7. I had a girlfriend who convinced me to model nude.

One of her fellow art students drew me and her drawing was exhibited in the college administration building.

I went to see the exhibit not knowing I'd be in it. I got stuck standing there in front of this drawing of my naked self thinking "okay, this is weird," almost slipping into this surrealistic crazy state of mind.

Then I noticed an older woman was standing next to me.

She looked at me, almost from head to foot, and said "Oh. That's YOU!"

I have never blushed so deeply in all my life.

:blush:

Thankfully she noticed my distress and said nothing more. I smiled and fled.

I wonder if that drawing is still around, but I'm not going to go looking for it.

12. For the life of me, I thought the subject line read

"Sir Sean Connery found nude..."

Oh well. :evilgrin:
