About this artwork

Edinburgh-born Sean Connery tried his hand at being a milkman, lifeguard, coffin-polisher and artists' model before the James Bond movies propelled him to stardom. Connery took a lively interest in Scottish politics. He also endowed the Scottish Education Trust with the profits of the film 'Diamonds Are Forever'. Annie Leibovitz's photograph, which was made especially for the Scottish showing of her exhibition and as a gift to Scotland, expertly captures Sean Connery's contained strength and intelligence.
