(ANI):
British
rocker
Pete
Doherty
has
splashed
out
10,000
dollars
on
a
portrait
of
ex
girlfriend
Kate
Moss.
The
Babyshambles
frontman
was
snapped
buying
the
oil
painting
from
artist
Sam
Shaker
in
London.
Shaker
was
commissioned
by
Doherty
to
make
the
painting
back
in
2007
when
he
and
the
British
supermodel
were
still
together
and
very
much
in
love,

Contactmusic.
However,
he
never
paid
the
600
dollars
that
Shaker
charged
for
the
painting
titled
'Beauty'
and
the
painter
decided
to
put
it
on
auction.
That's
when
Doherty
stepped
in
and
decided
to
pay
off
the
artist
to
claim
the
portrait.
