Oliver Enwonwu, son of late Nigerian multimedia artist, Professor Ben Enwonwu, says he is not surprised his father's masterpiece sold for more than 拢1m ($1.4m).

The 1974 painting of the Ife princess Adetutu Ademiluyi, known as Tutu, was found in a London flat after being missing for 40 years. The portrait became a symbol of reconciliation after Nigeria's Biafra conflict.
