A trustworthy copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, one of many world’s most recognisable portraits, offered for 210,000 euros ($242,634.00) at a Paris public sale on Tuesday (November 9).
Leonardo’s authentic, which French King Francois I purchased from the painter in 1518, might be present in Paris’ Louvre museum, drawing big crowds to see its enigmatic smile.
Artcurial had estimated that the copy, courting from round 1600 and looking out strikingly much like the unique, which isn’t on the market, would fetch 150,000-200,000 euros.
In June, a European collector purchased one other seventeenth century copy of Mona Lisa for two.9 million euros, a document for a copy of the work, at Christie’s in Paris.
In 2017, Christie’s New York offered Leonardo’s “Salvator Mundi” for a document $450 million.
