After the initial media craze had died down, I found myself on a crowded flight to New York, squeezed unhappily between two passengers. I had placed a mock-up of the cover of a brochure for the Gothenburg exhibition on my tray table. There was no text on the page, just the portrait of La Bella Principessa.

“That’s very beautiful,” one of my seatmates said conversationally.

I glanced in his direction. “Thank you,” I said, intent on my own musings.

“It’s a Leonardo, isn’t it?” he asked.

Now I stopped and looked at him with more interest. “Why do you say that?”

He shrugged. “I don’t know. I’m an art lover, and it looks like Leonardo da Vinci to me.”

I gave him a big smile and said that his guess was correct. I didn’t elaborate. “I wish the museum world had your eye,” I said.
