When talking with father-son

Ducks") and Martin Sheen ("The
West Wing"), it's hard to believe

Art history and mystery
f you really want to make
my day, give me a good
mystery to chew on. I grew
up glued to the works of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha
Christie and
Edgar Allen
Poe, and my
complete
collection of
illustrated
Sherlock
Holmes
adventures is LAUREN
the absolute CASERTA
first thing I
would save
in a dorm fire (no hard feelings,
"Beowulf").
While imaginary detectives
and fictitious crimes make for
riveting novellas and films, a
true mystery lover knows that
nothing would be cooler than
to stumble across an actual
whodunit. And for those of us
who enjoy the works of Cdzanne
as much as the discoveries of
Dupin, the art world continues
to provide an endless supply of
real-life riddles that would have
surely piqued even the most sea-
soned detective's interest.
Case in point: the recent
"rediscovery" of a 500-year-old
portrait of a young Milanese
girl whom art historians have
creatively dubbed Young Girl in
Profile in Renaissance Dress. It
surfaced at Christie's auction
house in 1998 and, despite its
unknown authorship, sold for
nearly $19,000.
But specialists from around
the world began to question the
origins of the diminutive 9x13
chalk-and-ink picture not long
after it was bought, after it was
suggested to be a long-lost work
of none other than Renaissance
master Leonardo da Vinci. A
confirmation of his authorship
would have launched its value
to upwards of a whopping $160
million.
