SPELLBOUND Sir Paul McCartney has become obsessed with an oil painting . . . called The Guitar Player.
The former Beatle makes regular trips to an art gallery to view the work by Dutch Master Jan Vermeer, staring at it for up to 40 minutes at a time.
Mega-rich Macca, 65, has even enquired about buying the centuries-old painting, which depicts a teenage girl posing with a guitar.
But its owner English Heritage told him it will never be sold for any price. Art expert Bart Cornelis said last night it could be worth more than £50MILLION.
Pals say Macca uses the gallery at Kenwood House in Hampstead, North London, as a haven during his bitter divorce battle with estranged wife Heather.
He has viewed The Guitar Player at least ten times recently. And one attendant said Paul — famed for playing his distinctive Hoffner bass left-handed — “seemed hypnotised” by it.
