..."I read on to see that the sketch is by Albrecht Dürer, the great German artist, who called it "The Virgin and Child with a Flower on a Grassy Bank." It is believed to have been drawn around 1503 as a study for a later painting. Five years ago, it sold at an estate sale for $30. The seller thought it was a reproduction.
Art experts quoted in news accounts believe this rare original Dürer sketch may sell for $50 million."
