A painting bought for $19,000 by a Canadian dealer two years ago has
been valued at $150 million after it was determined to be a work by
Leonardo Da Vinci. Carbon dating and infrared techniques convinced
experts that the portrait on vellum was a genuine Da Vinci. The final
proof came when analysis found a fingerprint "highly comparable” to one
on the artist's painting, St. Jerome.
