Copy of Mona Lisa sells for ₹25 crore in Paris, 10 times its expected price

A replica of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa fetched €2.9 million (over ₹25 crore) at a Christie's auction in Paris. Organisers had estimated its price at between €200,000-€300,000. It's thought to have been painted in early 1600s by an anonymous Italian artist. "This is madness, it's an absolute record for a Mona Lisa reproduction," a Christie's spokesperson said.
