New Goya painting discovered by Spanish expert

“A Spanish art expert has discovered a previously unknown painting by Spanish master Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) on Britain’s Isle of Man, news reports said Friday.

‘The Rope’, which was acquired for 18,000 euros (23,000 dollars) as an anonymous work 35 years ago, is worth 3 to 4 million euros, Paulino Gimenez estimated.

‘The Rope’, which shows a woman dressed in Roman-style clothing and holding a child looking down from a window, is believed to have been painted by Goya around 1770, when he was an art student in Italy.”
