Believe it or not? This is the painting of Leonardo Da Vinci, La Belle Ferronniere which was more than 80 years. The painting was certainly a picture of the figure of the mistress of Lucrezia Crivelli Ludovico Sforza, lord of Milan. Sotheby's auction house in New York, as quoted by Reuters, Patricia Reaney, examine the painting was made before 1750 by followers of the Renaissance.
The work of art that could be full of intrigue controversy even as the title of leading libel case in court in 1920. Another version of the works of Leonardo Da Vinci made or one of his students, is now in the Louvre Museum, Paris, France.
"I'm sure no one who recognizes this painting," said George Wachter, president of the gallery of ancient paintings, paintings that responded to that will be auctioned. He argued, "I myself do not believe this picture was made by Leonardo."
Meanwhile there were other findings that Harry Kahn, an American flier during the world war one, and French's wife, Andree, received the painting in 1920 as a wedding gift from her grandmother. "This must be made by Da Vinci," said a French art expert convincing authenticity.
When Hahn Later tried to sell the painting to the Art Institute in Kansas City, United States, costing $ 250,000, was no response from Joseph Duveen, art dealer in London, England, who called told reporters that the painting was fake. The statements was not only expressed by Duveen, but also Cannoisseurship Foundation.
The case shocked the art world immediately. Although other art experts supported the statement because of the lack of scientists Duveen and archiving of evidence, the judge ultimately failed to reach a decision.

Sotheby's hoped the painting would be sold between the value of U.S. $ 300,000 to 500.000. However, the price the painting could still rise again.
"This assessment is based on fact, painting a beautiful quality and glare by the lady's face," said Wachter.
Art experts believe that the painting was made before 1750 because there is a yellow ink, pencil strokes, the color used in painting until the late 17th century.
Unlike the version of the Louvre, which is described in a wooden panel or the same type since the time of Da Vinci. Hahn painting done on canvas, which is widely used post-period.
Characteristics of the pencil scratch are the force European painters had done in the future. "This is a good quality, and it has a year. The rest is up to people to decide," said Wachter.
John Brewer, author of "The American Leonardo", explained in detail that the history of the beautiful painting entered the United States in 1920. Then, he argues, what problems there because the rate Da Vinci.
"The value of this painting is not simple. If this is Leonardo, but this fact has a debate and an interesting history," he added.
