The world's largest painting, which was created by British artist Sacha Jafri, has been sold for £45m to raise funds for children's charities.
Jafri spent eight months painting the 1,600 sq m (17,000 sq ft) artwork in a deserted hotel's ballroom in Dubai.
He planned to sell it in 70 parts, but French cryptocurrency businessman Andre Abdoune has bought the whole work.
The price makes it one of the most expensive paintings ever sold at auction by a living artist.
Jafri said the full $62m (£45m) would go to Dubai Cares, Unicef, Unesco and the Global Gift Foundation to help disadvantaged children in countries like Brazil, India, Indonesia and South Africa.
