A recently discovered painting by the Belgian artist James Ensor realized $1.1 million at an auction in Vienna on Tuesday, May 31. The painting, which was created between 1925 and 1930, was first owned by Simone Breton—an art dealer and wife of the Surrealist pioneer, Andre Breton. The work has remained in the Breton family until now. The current auction record for a work by James Ensor is $6.9 million.
