Dr Connolly, I Presume? by Jack Vettriano was published in June 2017 as a signed limited edition print of just 100 copies, along with 10 artist's proofs. Each copy is signed and numbered by Vettriano and supplied with a certificate of authenticity. This edition sold out quickly from the publishers and the prints only rarely become available on the secondary market.

In May 2017 Jack Vettriano was one of 3 artists invited to participate in a BBC programme in celebration of Billy Connolly’s 75th birthday. The programme featured fellow Scottish artists John Byrne and Rachel McLean, who along with Vettriano each painted a portrait each of Billy Connolly.

Vettriano's painting from the comedian's World Tour of Scotland series in 1994, features a wind-blown Billy on a storm-lashed coast near John O'Groats.

The painting ‘Dr Connolly I Presume?’ has subsequently been recreated as a huge 50ft mural on the gable wall of a tenement block of flats in People's Place, Glasgow. The study of the picture was gifted to the City of Glasgow and is to be on permanent display in one of their galleries.
