Description
(Original Caption) 2/5/29-New York- Sir Joseph Duveen, international known art critic, as he appeared in court during trial of the action for $500,000, for libel brought against him by Mrs. Andree Lardoux Hahn of Kansas City, because he said that a picture owned by her supposedly painted by Leonardo Da Vinci, was not the work of the master but a copy. Because of the opinion printed in a New York paper in 1920, a proposed sale of the canvas to the Kansas City Art Museum for $300,000 was cancelled. Duveen says it is a copy, but admitted if it isn't, it would be worth $3,000,000.
