Pablo Picasso's Sylvette has become the most expensive painting ever sold at auction in Australia.
The brightly coloured portrait sold for $6.9 million at an auction in Sydney.
Kensington's Deutscher-Menzies Gallery had estimated the work would go for between $5 million and $7 million.
The previous record for a work sold at auction in Australia was set last year, when Brett Whiteley's The Olgas For Ernest Giles fetched $3.48 million.
