Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
ROME, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- A New York art dealer says she does not believe a painting she once owned was created by famed Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci.
Kate Ganz says while some experts say the portrait she bought at auction in 1998 in New York when it was listed as a 19th-century German School work was actually created by the Renaissance great, she disagrees, The New York Times reported Saturday.
Her stance comes despite a Lumiere Technology technical analysis deeming it a likely Leonardo original. The painting is now owned by an anonymous Swiss investor and is being held in a vault.
"Even though I honestly do not know what this drawing is, I still believe that it is not a Leonardo," said Ganz, who resold the mixed-media piece in 2007 for what she paid for a decade earlier, about $22,000.
Ganz told the Times her assertion was based on her feeling that the unidentified portrait of a young woman was not worthy of a Leonardo attribution.
