Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

In which painting by which painter can you find this flap?

Answers, on a postcard, to arrive by Friday 26 November, to: DETAILS 460, IoS, 1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Three winners will each receive a bottle of champagne

Details 458 came from Lovis Corinth's "Self Portrait with Model" (1903). The German artist specialised in the genre "self-portrait, with a woman" - the woman normally being Charlotte Berend, Corinth's student, model, mistress, and then wife. Sometimes the form is used to present the painter as happy hubby; here, to celebrate and equate his creative and sexual powers. The artist appears as a mighty love god, a kind of Barry White figure, with the naked and anonymous woman paying homage, her face pressed on to his bared and shaggy chest, while he goes on painting. The picture is in the Kunsthaus, Zurich. The first three correct entries came from: T Jones, Edgbaston; G Wood, Bournemouth; J Pogue, London
