New DaVinci drawing found

LONDON, July 1 (UPI) -- A new Leonardo da Vinci work has been discovered under the surface of another painting at a London gallery.

Experts at the National Gallery, using infra-red techniques, found a drawing under the surface of Da Vinci's "Virgin of the Rocks," which hangs at the Gallery, the BBC said

The drawing shows a woman kneeling with one arm stretched out. Experts believe the Italian Renaissance painter was planning a picture of an adoration of the child Christ but abandoned the idea.

Da Vinci was commissioned to paint the "Virgin of the Rocks" to decorate an altarpiece in a chapel in Milan in 1483.
