Back in 1499, or thereabouts, one Leonardo da Vinci, a painter of note, had the unconventional habit of smudging the imprint of his thmb in the wet paint of his completed canvasses. Now, 423 years later, one of those thumbprints is to be determined in a $500,000 lawsuit. The suit was brought by Mrs. Andree Hahn, an art collector, hc seeks
to recover $500,000 because Sir Hoseph Duveen, celebrated art connoisseur and dealer c? New York and London, declared that her painting, "La Belle Ferroniere," was not the work oi da Vinci. Mrs. Hahn, who is th wife of Capt. Harry J. Hahn, former U. S. army aviator, declares that Duveen's adverse decision prevented the Bale of tha
work to the Kansas City i Institute for $500,000. She inherited the portrait from her father, the Marquis de La "deux, of Brittany. The work is the portrait of Lucrezia Crivelli, mistress of Francis I of France. If she can prove the thumbprint on her canvas is that of da Vinci. Mrs. Hahn expects to wla he suit.
