VIENNA, April 25 — A painting by Gustav Klimt that reappeared after nearly a century sold for €30 million (US$32 million) on Wednesday, setting a record price for an Austrian auction despite questions surrounding its provenance.

Hong Kong gallery HomeArt snapped up the “Bildnis Fraeulein Lieser” (“Portrait of Miss Lieser”), which was commissioned by a wealthy Jewish industrialist’s family and painted by the symbolist master Klimt in 1917 shortly before he died.
