Talk about suffering for art.

Naked Brexit protester Dr Victoria Bateman reveals she incurred a back injury posing for a nude portrait by artist anthony Connolly, which is currently exhibited at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters’ new annual show. ‘I had to sit absolutely still on my sraight-backed antique sofa during arduous long sessions, three weekends in a row... it was very painful,’ she tells me. ‘He came to my Victorian house in Cambridge and my back was killing me afterwards. Not to mention the heating bill.’
