Tutu (painting)
- ... that a painting of a Nigerian princess unseen for over 40 years was discovered in 2017 and sold for over £1 million? Source: "A famous painting that went missing for decades before turning up in a London apartment has sold for over $1.6 million (£1,205,000). Often dubbed the "African Mona Lisa," Ben Enwonwu's "Tutu" smashed sale estimates at an auction in London on Wednesday. One of a triptych of artworks created by Enwonwu during the aftermath of Nigeria's bloody civil war, "Tutu" disappeared shortly after being painted in 1974. Its whereabouts remained the subject of intense speculation for over 40 years before the portrait was discovered in a family home late last year."

No Swan So Fine As the painting sold for £1.2 million, I think the hook should say and sold for over £1 million
orand sold for £1.2 million
rather thanand sold for £1 million
. Do you agree?- QPQ done
