A long-lost painting by Austrian artist Gustav Klimt, 'Portrait of Fräulein Lieser,' has been found after nearly 100 years and will be auctioned in Vienna. The painting, last seen in 1925, is expected to fetch up to $82 million. Klimt began the portrait in 1917, left it unfinished when he died in 1918, and it was later owned by the Lieser family. The auction proceeds will benefit the current owners and the legal successors of Adolf Lieser and his wife, in line with standards for the sale of art looted by the Nazis.
