Testa di orso
Leonardo da Vinci’s endless curiosity about the natural world shines through in this delicate sketch of a bear’s head. Rendered with fine, scratching lines that beautifully capture the texture of fur, the animal gazes downward with a surprisingly gentle, almost contemplative expression. You can even see a scribbled attribution at the bottom, hinting at how this study likely originated in one of his famous notebooks where he dissected and observed everything from human anatomy to wild beasts. It’s a perfect example of how the Renaissance master treated every creature, no matter how fierce, as a subject worthy of scientific and artistic study.
