It was sold at a London auction. In a press release about the painting, they said, ” It is the only work that Churchill painted during the war, perhaps encouraged by the recent progress made by the Allies in what he considered to be one of the most beautiful countries he had encountered.” Brad Pitt originally bought the painting for $2.95 million in 2011.
