At a Dorotheum auction on Tuesday, an ink drawing from the workshop of Leonardo da Vinci exceeded expectations "by far" with 650,000 euros.
The "recently discovered extraordinary work," according to a press release, is attributed to the Spanish artist Fernando Llanos. Whether da Vinci's hands were involved is unknown. Noteworthy, however, are the stylistic parallels to the master.
The unfinished depiction of the Salvator Mundi is executed in black ink on a wooden panel and dated 1504. Especially the tight, whirlpool-like curls correspond exactly to the method that Leonardo described in his treatise on painting and various other writings.
