Bonhams claims to discover previously unknown portrait by Diego Rodriguez de Sylva y Velazquez (1599-1660). The painting will be on sale in December with an estimate of £2,000,000 - 3,000,000.
Understandably, the auction house is highly excited. The painting, if it is by Velasquez, will be 99th picture known to us today as executed by this great Spanish master (with only 4 in private hands and 94 in the museums).
