A tiny preparatory drawing of a foot just sold for $29.3 million — and the reason is simple: it was drawn by Michelangelo. The sketch was discovered hanging in an old frame in America and later identified as a study connected to the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It’s a perfect example of how, in the Old Master market, scale is irrelevant — authorship is everything. One line. One gesture. One hand. Enough to break auction records.
