Day 27... Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer by Gustav Klimt

This is a photo of the most expensive painting ever it was painted in 1907 by Gustav Klimt and sold for $135,000,000 in 2006 by Ronald S. Lauder. This painting was taken from it's owner by the Nazi when he had to flee to Switzerland. It wasn't until 2006 that it was finally restored to it's heir by the Austrian Court, and soon after it was purchased by Lauder.
