Is this picture worth $91,000?

To one anonymous Chinese "art collector," the answer is yes. This Michel Comte shot of the French first lady—then just a 25-year-old Italian model—fetched 20 times its pre-auction estimate yesterday at Christie's, thus giving us an excuse to post this photo. Which reminds us: Google image search is free.
