Three drawings by Spain's Francisco de Goya, presumed lost for 130 years, have fetched more than £4m at auction.
The three sketches, drawn between 1812 and 1829, had not been seen since 1877.
The top lot, Bajar rinendo (Down they come), shows four women fighting. It sold for £2,2m, a world record auction price for a Goya work on paper.
The auction, at Christie's in London, also saw La Surprise, by French artist Jean-Antoine Watteau, sell for £12.3m - another world record.
