A 15th-century painting attributed to Sandro Botticelli was the star of tonight's Old Master & 19th Century Paintings Evening Auction, fetching £3.4 million. It had been considered a studio production until cleaning and examination with infrared reflectography brought about a reassessment. Scholars have recently considered it very likely executed in large part, if not entirely, by the master himself.
