Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton photo taken by Cecil Beaton who described star as 'vulgar
'Vulgar, common and crass': Cecil Beaton loathed what he called the 'monster' that was Elizabeth Taylor, but was forced to photograph the then 39 year old star with husband Richard Burton at a black tie event in 1971
The black and white shot was taken by Beaton at a lavish black tie ball in 1971 at which he was commissioned to snap the rich and famous guests.
The framed picture hung in his club up until he died earlier this year. His family, who have inherited the image, are now selling it at auction in London where it is expected to sell for 12,000.
Sarah Wheeler, a specialist in the photographs section of Bloomsbury Auctions, said: 'The fact that Cecil Beaton produced such a beautiful portrait despite his personal dislike for them, shows what a consummate professional he was.'
'This photograph has never been sold at auction before and had been in private ownership for more than 30 years.
'It is a beautiful portrait of her.'
In Beaton's diaries that were later published, he wrote a damning opinion of Taylor and Burton following the brief van cleef diamond ring fake photoshoot. and English taste, he as butch and coarse as only a Welshman can be.
'She wanted compliments. She got none. I felt I must be professional and continued, but not without loathing at this monster.
'Round her neck was a velvet ribbon with the biggest diamond in the world pinned on it. On her fat, coarse hands more of the biggest diamonds and emeralds, her head a ridiculous mass of diamond necklaces, sewn together, with a snood of blue and black pom poms and black aisprey aigrettes.
Scathing: Cecil Beaton was passionate in his hatred of Taylor and Burton
'Sausage curls! Alexandre, the hairdresser, had done his worst. And this was the world's biggest draw! In comparison everyone else looked ladylike.'
Beaton, who died in 1980, set up his own studio for the Rothschilds' Proust Ball held at the Chateau de Ferriere near Paris in December 1971.
He dressed himself up as the 19th century French photographer Felix Nadar while he took his pictures of the great and the good of the day.
Miss Wheeler said: 'Cecil Beaton was the only photographer there.
'He took van cleef and arpels diamond ring replica one picture of Elizabeth Taylor by herself which sold at last year's Elizabeth Taylor auction for 31,000.
'This one for sale is of her and her then husband Richard Burton.
'The couple pose as actors showing off their best features although they are looking away from each other, her towards the camera, while he looks on ahead, adding to the fascination of the image.
'Their costume including their hair, is extremely different from the costume worn for the parts they played in Under Milk Wood which they filmed together earlier that year in a small Welsh fishing village.
'The photo was given by Cecil Beaton to the late Brian Hammond and it is his relatives who are selling it.
'It has been signed by Beaton in red pencil.'
The auction takes place in London next Tuesday.
