A late portrait by Gustav Klimt sold for $236.4 million, becoming the second most expensive painting ever auctioned. The model, Erzsébet Léderer, had roots in Győr, Hungary, and was the daughter of industrialist Ágoston Léderer, who played a significant role in the city's industrialization. The Léderer family was deeply involved in the art scene, befriending Klimt and Schiele, and their story highlights the contributions of Jewish entrepreneurs to Győr's development. The painting's sale not only marks a milestone in the art market but also serves as a reminder of the family's historical significance and the cultural legacy of Hungarian Jewry.
