A small chalk drawing of a foot is expected to fetch up to $2 million when it goes under the hammer at Christie’s in New York in February. That’s because, as Christie’s explains, this foot has a place in one of the most famous frescos of all time. The auction house believes the previously unknown red chalk drawing, just five inches tall, was part of Michelangelo’s study for the Sistine Chapel’s iconic ceiling. It was submitted to the auction house online by a member of the public, who claimed it was by the Renaissance master.
