Angelina's Mastectomy Pic for Sale


Hollywood star Angelina Jolie is the the subject of Renowned Swedish artist Johan Andersson's latest oil painting that features the actress in a topless posture post her double mastectomy.

The 37-year-old's portrait will soon go under the hammer and proceeds from the sale will be donated to a non-profit organisation to support peace campaigns in Congo, reported Ace showbiz.

It is expected to fetch around USD 22,000. ArtBelow, the gallery selling the painting says proceeds from the sale will be donated to 'Falling Whistles' to support campaigns for peace in the Congo, a cause which Jolie herself is very passionate about.

"The recent news about Angelina stirred an anxiety within me leading me to paint this portrait. There is an underlying awkwardness in her demeanor in juxtaposition to the natural beauty of her face," Andersson added.
