Madonna is being glorified (or not, depending how you look at it) in a new oil painting by Peter Howsen.
The oil “caricature” (if you will) portrays Madonna with former husband Guy Ritchie nude.
Howsen’s style for the painting shows Madonna and Ritchie overly muscular with emphasized features.
Howsen has sold pieces to celebrities such as David Bowie and Mick Jagger.
The painting is expected to garner for than $20,000 at an upcoming auction.
I wouldn’t expect any purchase inquiries from Madonna or Guy.
