She is holding a cigarette to her pouting lips and has adopted a sexy, sultry pose. During the year it was taken the star went on her 'Blond Ambition Tour.'
 
The performer said at the time, when she was aged about 31: 'I know that I'm not the best singer and I know that I'm not the best dancer.
'But, I can f*****g push people's buttons and be as provocative as I want. The tour's goal is to break useless taboos.'

Judith Eurich from the saleroom said: 'It is an absolutely stunning image and it is just a beautiful tone of grey. It is not just black and white it is grey and silvery.
'Madonna was posing for a number of photographers at the time this was taken in the 1990s when she was in her early 30s.
'She was going through a phase of having bleach blonde hair and heavy dark eye make-up that gave her a dramatic look - and of course she has a gorgeous body.
'She is a very healthy person and I'd imagine the cigarette is just a prop to make her look sexy and sultry.'
The price paid was $23,750 or £14,761.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover
