Leonardo

A forensic expert has recently identified a finger print on the canvas of "La Bella Principessa" as belonging to none other than Leonardo da Vinci.


Which makes this painting, purchased in 1997 for $19,000 now worth an estimated $150 million.
 
How's that for art investment?

    Isn't this the most exciting news?! I heard about it on GMA this morning. Had to stop in and say "Hi!" because I haven't in awhile. Hope all is wonderful with you and your snow looks lovely! :)
