Hoofd van de Maagd in driekwart profiel naar rechts
1510-13
Leonardo da Vinci's masterful drawing captures a serene, downward gaze that feels almost alive. Created around 1510 as a study for his painting 'The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne,' this piece showcases his legendary sfumato technique, where soft, smoky shading blurs the lines between light and shadow. Notice the intricate, swirling curls of hair and the delicate veil that frame her peaceful face. It's a breathtaking example of how a simple drawing can hold just as much emotional weight as a finished oil painting.
