LONDON (AP) — Model Jerry Hall plans to auction off 14 of her artworks next month, including a famous portrait by Lucian Freud that shows her nude when she was eight months pregnant.

The auction by Sotheby’s will also include works by Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, David Bailey and other prominent artists collected by Hall, ex-wife of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger.

The auction house said Monday the works will be sold on Oct. 15-16 as part of a larger contemporary art sale.

Sotheby’s says the Lucian Freud portrait called “Eight Months Gone” is the centerpiece of the auction and is expected to fetch more than 300,000 pounds ($460,000).

The collection also includes two other works by Freud, often acclaimed as one of the world’s greatest living painters.
