Many of the gems he has found are now in major museum collections like the Frick, the Getty, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. About ten years ago, when Kline was routinely combing through a Christie's catalog, a beautiful little drawing caught his eye. Attributed to Carracci, it came with a very low estimate, but Kline's every instinct told him that the attribution was wrong. He placed a bid and the low asking price and bought the drawing outright. And that was the beginning of how Kline discovered Leonardo da Vinci's model drawing for the Infant Jesus and the Infant St. John.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 741.945 Leonardo Kl Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709 Kline Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 709 Kl Checked In Add Copy to MyList
