London, June 24 (IANS) A rare photograph of pop legend Michael Jackson is set to go under the hammer later this year.
The never-before-seen picture depicts Jackson with a sad expression on his face and a blue glittery ring around his eye, reports dailymail.co.uk.
The picture was shot by French photographer Arno Bani in 1999 and was one of the options for the cover shot of Jacko’s 10th and final studio album “Invincible” released in 2001.
The photograph will be put up for auction along with 11 other never-before-published portraits of the late singer and 50 contact boards, by Auctioneers Pierre Berge & Associates in December.
Auctioneer Frederic Chambre said bidding for each portrait is expected to start at $1,228.
The singer died at the age of 50 June 25 last year.
