At first glance it may not look like it, but this painting by Francis Bacon is apparently of a ‘tortured’ cricketer.
It was announced today that the painting, entitled ‘Figure in Movement’, is expected to fetch £4m at auction in New York next month.
Exactly which tortured cricketer is being portrayed is not entirely clear, but many observers believe it could be Kevin Pietersen about to face a slow left-armer.
