Discovery in Australia of the world’s only extant portrait of Lucrezia Borgia?

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24704370-5001028,00.html

From the Sydney Daily Telegraph:

A MYSTERY painting held by the National Gallery of Victoria for 43 years is being hailed as a "revelatory" portrait of the infamous, incestuous [???] Italian Renaissance woman Lucrezia Borgia.
Note, however, that the article’s reference to the ‘historical record’ is not necessarily accurate.
