The “La bella principessa” painting could be a work of Leonardo da Vinci, according to reports.
If that is the case, the painting (”Beautiful Princess” in English) of a woman dressed in Renaissance clothing, would be valued at millions of euros.
The small painting was previously attributed to a German artist and was last sold in 1998 for a mere 19,000 USD.
A carbon dating and infrared analysis will now be conducted to see if the painting is, in fact, the work of the great Italian master.
According to experts, the expressive technique of the work gives weight to the theory of it being a piece of Italian art from da Vinci; and apparently a finger print of the great Italian artist has been found on the potrait.
The work, originally sold as “Young Girl in Profile in Renaissance Dress”, is possibly of Bianca Sforza, daughter of Ludovico Sforza, Duke of Milan.
