A photograph of Keith Richards is expected to make up to £35,000 when it goes under the hammer today.

The portrait of the Rolling Stones guitarist was taken by German fashion photographer Peter Lindbergh for GQ magazine in 1999.

Also among the lots at the Christie's auction is a Lindbergh picture of supermodels Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Tatjana Patitz and Christy Turlington, which is expected to fetch £30,000.

The picture appeared on the front cover of Vogue in 1990 to accompany an article in which Evangelista announced that she did not "wake up for less than $10,000 a day".

1966. It has an upper estimate of £6,000.

The top lot is a rare platinum print by Robert Mapplethorpe of a calla lily, expected to sell for £80,000.
