This painting of a young woman breastfeeding an old man in a prison cell was sold for 30 million euros.

The painting may seem wicked, but the story behind it is from historical records.

The poor man was sentenced to ′ ′ death by hunger ′ ′ for stealing bread during the reign of Louis XIV in France. The woman was his only daughter and the only visitor to his cell.

She was allowed to visit him every day, but was completely searched in such a way that no food could be brought in.

When they realized that after 4 months the man still survived without weight loss, the authorities were perplexed and began spying on her in the cell and to their utter amazement they found her breastfeeding her father, sharing her baby's milk.

The judges, after realizing the woman's compassion and love for her father, forgave him and released him.
