A square scribbled on a yellowed piece of paper by Renaissance genius Michelangelo sold for $201,600 33 times its estimated value, auction house Christie's said Wednesday. Found stuck to the back of a frame, the small drawing accompanied by a letter from Michelangelo's last direct descendant was initially expected to sell for between $6,000 and $8,000, AFP said. But Christie's in New York said the piece went under the hammer for "33.6 times its low estimate," without disclosing any details of the buyer.
