From the Telegraph and Sotheby's comes a new gem in the genre. To highlight the news that Sotheby's is to sell John Constable's own version of The Lock (est. £8m-£12m), we have here a photo of a Sotheby's porter (female, naturally) lifting the painting from the top and the side, all whilst up a ladder. Some feat. What did she have for breakfast?
Christie's recently sold another, better known, version of the painting for over £22m. Wonder what this one will make.
More here.
Update - I'm told it's not a porter, but a press officer.
