Angelia Jolie is unloading a multi-million dollar work of art given to her by Brad Pitt.
The Oscar-winning actress is selling at auction a painting created by Winston Churchill during World War II, which is expected to sell for $3.4 million at Christie’s, reported CNN.
Churchill initially painted the “Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque” in 1943 as a gift for President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The painting changed hands over the years before getting the attention of Pitt.
Pitt purchased the painting in 2011 from a high-end art dealer and gifted it to Jolie, the outlet noted.
The A-list couple separated in 2016 after two years of marriage and have since been embroiled in an ongoing divorce and custody battle.
Although it’s unclear why the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” actress is getting rid of the art work, it is officially being offered by the Jolie Family Collection, Christie’s said.
The auction is set for March 1st.
While not mentioning Pitt directly, Jolie recently opened up about the emotional toll she has been under over the course of the last several years.
In a new interview with British Vogue, the 45-year-old mother of six was asked if she was happy.
“I don’t know,” Jolie responded. “The past few years have been pretty hard. I’ve been focusing on healing our family. It’s slowly coming back, like the ice melting and the blood returning to my body.”
Despite her personal struggles, Jolie has found satisfaction with where she is in life.
“I do like being older. I feel much more comfortable in my forties than I did when I was younger,” she continued. “Maybe because… I don’t know… maybe because my mom didn’t live very long, so there’s something about age that feels like a victory instead of a sadness for me.”
