I'm so in love with this tiny miniature self portrait by Frida Kahlo, painted as a present for her lover Jose Bartoli which goes on sale tonight at Sotherby's and is expected to garner a quarter of million pounds. I am firmly of the belief that these paintings are the most romantic form possible and I don't mind telling you I spent more than half an hour gawping at the Elizabeth I miniature in the lovely mirror exhibition in the Victoria and Albert when it first appeared.
