Klimt's last portrait sets European record in £74 million auction

The last portrait painted by Gustav Klimt has been sold in London for £74 million ($94.3 million).

The celebrated Austrian symbolist's "Dame mit Facher" (Lady with a Fan) set a new European art auction record.

Described as a "beautiful, rich and alluring portrait of an unnamed woman", the portrait was found on his easel in his studio when he died unexpectedly in February 1918 aged 55.
