Kate Moss's split from junkie rocker Pete Doherty has left an artist with a dilemma – an uncollected portrait of the supermodel.

Yours for £300 - Kate Moss

Sam Shaker, who runs the Jazz After Dark club in Soho, painted Kate, 32, after the couple visited in May to discuss a possible Babyshambles gig.

"Pete saw my paintings and loved them," Shaker says. "Kate then commissioned me to do one of her."

But the couple's recent split – after Pete, 28, cheated with model Lindi Hingston – has left Shaker with the £300 painting.

"Pete came to my club to take it, but he had no money on him," added Shaker.

"He said he wanted to give it to Kate to apologise – but I couldn't just let him take it. And I wouldn't ask Kate for the money. Now I may auction it for charity."
