An amazing drawing by Veronese, a study for a ceiling in the Doge's Palace in Venice, has been sold by the Earl of Harewood to an overseas buyer for £15.4m. The drawing has had a temporary export bar placed on it by the UK government, though it seems unlikely any UK institution will want to step in and save the work.
