A rare and pricy Leonardo da Vinci drawing has been found.

A French auction house announced its discovery of 'The Martyred Saint Sebastian.' It's the first da Vinci artwork to be discovered in over 15 years.

The drawing is valued at $15.8 million and was discovered after a retired doctor brought 14 unframed drawings his father collected to the auction house.

Its authenticity was confirmed by renowned da Vinci authority Carmen C. Bambach.

The auction house told FoxNews they plan on auctioning the piece in June.
