Leonardo da Vinci painting lost for centuries found in Swiss bank vault
Summary: A mystical portrait said to be lost of Isabella d’Este, a Renaissance noblewoman, was founded in a Swiss vault filled with a private collection of art featuring 400 pieces of art. They think that it is completed version of a ketch that he did of her earlier. Scientist and experts in Leonardo's work and studies do say that he could very possibly have painted this portrait. Experts say that it is very close to what da Vinci worked looked like.
Analysis: It is quite a possibility that this work was done by da Vinci. It does have a large resemblance to his sketch of the noblewoman, but then who knows if he really did it or it's a great copy as a painting.It can be anyone's opinion.

How interesting. I think it could be a considerable possibility that the portrait was really done by da Vinci, or else it might've been done by someone who studied his painting style a lot and painted that portrait based on da Vinci's sketch. Who knows? At any rate, this is a fascinating discovery that has added another work of art to the world that people can view and appreciate.

Sounds like a desperate call for money. Perhaps not desperate but it is almost similar to the whole Anastasia Romanov scandals that went on for years.
