Britney Spears has signed a provocative portrait of herself for a new eBay charity auction.
The painting – titled Mixed Media Painting of Britney Spears – was created by Californian artist Daniel Maltzman, and was donated to the Promises Foundation, an organization that provides behavioral health services to low-income women and their children.
“The Spears family gave us this painting out of their generosity,“ said Foundation director Lisa Rogg. “It was their idea for the auction.”
The painting – which has a starting bid of $10,000 – comes with a letter of authenticity from Britney’s father that reads: “I hereby verify that the portrait of my daughter, Britney, has been in our home since it was completed by the Daniel Maltman Studio.”
The Promises Foundation is committed to restoring hope for families by creating a safe environment for mothers and their children to grow and develop the tools they require to live meaningful and self-sufficient lives.
The auction runs until September 20 and can be accessed through a link on the Promises Foundation website.

This is a win/win for everyone involved. Congrats to Britney Spears, the Spears family and the artist, Daniel Maltzman.
As an artist, it's great to see art making a difference in this way. I'm sure The Promises Foundation is grateful.
