A very rare Winston Churchill painting (gifted by him to US President Franklin D. Roosevelt during World War II) has been sold for nearly $11.5 million after fees. It was purchased by ex-beau Brad Pitt for Angelina Jolie a few years ago and is now touted to be the most expensive of Churchill’s pieces to be sold.

The artwork features the long shadows and warm tones of a sunset in Marrakech, Morocco. It is titled ‘Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque’ and is the only painting done by Churchill during the Second World War. It was held in a private collection in the U.S. for several years before it was given to Jolie by her ex-partner, Brad Pitt.
