A nude photo of French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, standing in a pigeon-toed pose and covering her modesty with her hands, was soldĀ in New York for $US91,000 ($A98,039), more than 20 times its expected price.
A buyer for a Chinese art collector bought the black-and-white image, taken by photographer Michel Comte in 1993 during her modelling days, Christie’s auction house said.
The sale of the photo has attracted attention since Bruni married French President Nicolas Sarkozy in February.
The photo had been expected to fetch between $US3,000 and $US4,000.
