El récord en ventas de una obra de Kahlo en subasta había sido de 8 millones de dólares, impuesto en 2016 por Dos desnudos en el bosque (1939). Mientras tanto, otras dos obras de la pintora mexicana subastadas en Christie’s en 2019 recaudaron casi los 9 millones de dólares: Retrato de una mujer de blanco (1929) fue vendida a un comprador privado en Nueva York por 5,8 millones de dólares, mientras que Canasta con flores (1941) se vendió en 3,1 millones. Pinturas como Raíces (1943) se vendieron por 5,6 millones de dólares a la cantante Madonna y la pintura de Kahlo, Diego y yo (1944), fue la primera obra de una artista latinoamericana en romper la barrera del millón de dólares al momento de su venta, cerrando con un precio de subasta de 1,4 millones de dólares en una subasta.

La obra de Frida Kahlo comenzó basándose en el retrato de personas cercanas a su vida, los que han ayudado luego a suponer la identidad de otros personajes desconocidos en las pinturas de Kahlo. Sus primeras piezas se comparan con el arte clásico europeo, también siendo comparado muchas veces con la técnica del Renacimiento, usada por pintores como Botticelli y Bronzino. Las obras de Kahlo navegan entre las descripciones de los movimientos avant-garde, la nueva objetividad y el cubismo. Un periodo de su vida dio un giro al estilo de su pintura, acercando su inspiración y su estilo hacia el folklore mexicano. Historiadores del arte sugieren que el acercamiento de Frida Kahlo hacia las raíces mexicanas, pudo haber estado influenciado por la obra de Adolfo Best Maugard sobre el mismo tema, en donde predominaban la falta de perspectiva y la combinación de los elementos de los periodos prehispánicos del arte mexicano.

The largest diamond found in more than a century has been unearthed at a mine in Botswana, and the country's president showed off the fist-sized stone to the world on August 22.

The Botswana government says the huge 2,492-carat diamond is the second-biggest ever discovered in a mine. It's the biggest diamond found since 1905.

The diamond was presented to the world at the office of Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi. It weighs about half a kilogram and Masisi was one of the first to hold it.

Masisi said: "I am lucky to have seen it in my time." He said "wow" before calling government officials over to take a closer look.

Officials said it was too early to value the stone or decide how it would be sold. Another smaller diamond from the same mine in Botswana was sold for $63 million in 2016, a record for a rough gem.

Naseem Lahri, Botswana managing director for Lucara, the Canadian mining company that found the diamond, added: "I am very proud. It is a product of Botswana."

Lucara said in a statement that it recovered the "exceptional" rough diamond from its Karowe Mine in central Botswana. Lucara said it was a "high-quality" stone and was found intact.

It was located using X-ray technology designed to find large, high-value diamonds.

The weight would make it the largest diamond found in 119 years and the second-largest ever dug out of a mine after the Cullinan Diamond that was discovered in South Africa in 1905.

The famous Cullinan was 3,106 carats and was cut into gems, some of which form part of the British Crown Jewels.

Botswana, a country of 2.6 million people in southern Africa, is the second-biggest producer of natural diamonds behind Russia and has unearthed all of the world's biggest stones in recent years.
