Anything Raphael created would be worth a fortune. The last work to be auctioned, a sketch titled “Head of a Muse,” sold for $48 million at Christie’s in 2009. But art historians have disagreed about whether the find is a real Raphael.
Anthony Ayers had a hunch that he’d found a masterpiece. While vacationing in the English countryside in 1995, Mr. Ayers spotted a dusty, wood-panel painting tucked behind an armoire in an antique shop. It depicts Mary holding an infant Jesus in her lap as her older cousin Elizabeth and a toddler John the Baptist look on lovingly; the backdrop features an oak tree with a goldfinch, an ancient symbol foreshadowing the Crucifixion. The shopkeeper suggested that the painting could be from the Renaissance.
