The 1917 painting "Portrait of Fräulein Lieser" by Gustav Klimt was sold for 35 million euros at an auction in Vienna. The identity of the girl in the painting and its ownership history are uncertain, with potential ties to Nazi persecution. Despite these concerns, the painting was purchased by Patti Wong for an Asian client. The unfinished nature of the painting and its lack of a signature also raised questions. The sale was facilitated with the agreement of the painting's owners and the Lieser family heirs. The commercial appeal of the painting was enhanced by an export license, and Klimt's works continue to command high prices in the art market.
