Carla Bruni sketch leaves PM's wife 'bemused'

Sarah Brown, wife of British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has been left "bemused" by a sketch of her on Carla Bruni's new website.

The site, which crashed on its launch day as Web User reported, contains a sketch of the British first lady penned by the French first lady.

However, Brown's comments on micro-blogging site Twitter suggests that she is less than impressed by the picture, painted by French artist Alice Dechelette.

"Love Carla Bruni-Sarkozy's new website though bit bemused by illustration of me," she wrote.

Brown has a following of over 836,000 on Twitter, outstripping even Stephen Fry.

Art lovers would be well advised to pay a visit to the newly-launched Van Gogh Letters website for an insight into the life of one of the truly great artists of all time.
