A Renaissance work by Albrecht Altdorfer has been identified and is set to go under the hammer at auction. Its estimated value falls between £3 million and £5 million. The painting has been held in a private Swiss collection since 1957, which is why it has remained largely out of public view. Before the sale, it will be displayed in New York and London.
