LONDON - Lucian Freud's portrait of a naked, pregnant Kate Moss is expected to fetch up to $6.4 million when it is auctioned next year, Christie's auction house said.

The near-lifesize portrait of the supermodel, "Naked Portrait 2002," will be included in a Christie's sale of postwar and contemporary art on Feb. 9. It is being sold by an unnamed private collector, the auction house said Thursday.

That's Kate Moss? The portrait looks like an Ethiopian starvation victim posed for it.

You mean Kate Moss isn't an Ethiopian starvation victim?
She sure looks like one.
