This photo provided by prof. Alessandro Vezzosi of the "Museo Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci" Monday Aug. 4, 2008, is a reproduction of a 15th century portrait of a young woman. Experts say this artwork previously attributed to an anonymous German artist, is likely a drawing made by Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci for a long-distance marriage proposal. The drawing, which could be worth millions if the new attribution is confirmed, was bought in 1998 for US$21,850 (?14,029) by a private collector at an auction in New York, said Alessandro Vezzosi, the director of a museum dedicated to the artist in his hometown of Vinci. "Every element points to Leonardo," said Vezzosi, one of the experts who examined the drawing. (AP Photo/Alessandro Vezzosi - Museo Ideale Leonardo Da Vinci, HO)
