Description
Italian School, 19th century
Portrait of Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)
oil on paper, laid down on canvas
23.7 x 18.1 cm.
Based on a 17th-century portrait of Leonardo da Vinci previously regarded as a self-portrait by the artist, which entered the collection of the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence in 1715.1 The composition appears to be inspired by the renowned drawn self-portrait by da Vinci, today in the Biblioteca Reale di Torino (D.C. 15571).2
