The first nude drawing by
Michelangelo set a new record of 23 million euros at auction at
Christie's in Paris Wednesday, beating the 9.5 million euros
paid for his Risen Christ in New York in 2000.
The drawing, a naked man flanked by two other figures in the
background, is one of less than 10 sketches by the Renaissance
genius in private hands around the world, said Christi's head of
ancient drawings, Hélène Rihal, interviews by AFP shorty before
the auction.
