If any of you Freepers have a spare $30 to $50 million laying around this may be your only chance to own a genuine, one-of-a-kind, unique (redundant, I know) Leonardo Da Vinci work of art. Opening bid is a mere $11,000,000. . . Pocket change. . . If you can spare the $30 to $50 million final bid plus the 13.5% buyers premium that will be charged on top of the final gavel price, not to mention the combined New York State and City Sales Taxes of 8.875%.

Dont forget to add a modest 10% tithe of your auction winning bid to Freerepublic to support its efforts. . . Since you found out about this auction here. . . That should keep FR running for years to come.

Don’t know about the rest of you but no way I’m buying a statue of a 3 legged horse. Suckers.

Original Da Vinci, unencumbered, will easily go over $100 million. Even this poor example.

He certainly captured a sense of grace and beauty in this.

Laser scan it and you can print 3D models.
No harm will be done to the original.

Love the jokes written, but I think he is THE most creative person of all time. I can’t fathom how his mind worked.

“one-of-a-kind”
Well, it’s one of a kind until the guy who owns the mold decides to make another copy, then you are out of luck.

Must be before he studied the human form. No hands or feet and now way would a rider or horse be in those positions unless a millisecond before a disastrous tumble.

Opening bid $11,000,000.
I tried to submit a bid ($20,000,000), but it makes you register first.
