Rose assembled the backdrop for his Sunday Skype appearance on TV. He’d be talking about melting icecaps, coastal flooding, struggling polar bears. The bookshelves would add the right gravitas to his remarks – demonstrate he was as well-qualified as those other TV pundits.

Viewers that weekend were shocked to see behind him, as he spoke about the poor polar bears’ plight, a large charcoal sketch of a young Rose luxuriating on a divan, Goya-like, resplendent in all her nude glory.
