A LOOK AT A NEWLY-DISCOVERED MICHELANGELO

One of Michelangelo’s early drawings, discovered recently, is being offered by Sotheby’s auction house for an estimated $8-11 million. “The drawing, dated to around 1505, lay entirely unknown to art historians since at least the mid-18th century. It is a striking work in ink, about 10 in. by 6 in., representing a draped figure in mourning. It has about it the solemn air of antiquity.” – Christian Science Monitor
