The painting, which features the completely naked actress exposing her baby bump, is set to be shown at the painter’s “(I’ve Got You) Under My Skin” exhibition in Berlin.
Yeo said the portrait “epitomized the human body in its most naturally beautiful state.”
He added, “It’s been 22 years since a pregnant Demi Moore caused uproar by posing for Annie Leibovitz on the cover of Vanity Fair.”
“In that time society has become almost completely desensitized to the daily exposure to people who have surgically distorted their appearance for artificial reasons,” said Yeo.
He continued, “Yet certain sections of society are still uncomfortable with the appearance of pregnancy and images of naked expectant mothers are rarely seen.”
Yeo went on to note, “The power of the painting partly lies in the fact that Sienna is widely regarded as being one of the most naturally beautiful actresses in the world as well as being a fashion icon to a generation of girls,” explaining, “It is a tribute to her courage and self-confidence that she agreed to sit for this. I can think of many figures whose public currency in part revolves around their appearance, who would prefer to hide themselves away for nine months.”
The artist also painted Miller in 2010.
