Description: | A reproduction produced by the Vasari Society of a drawing from the School of Leonardo da Vinci. The drawing shows the head of a young woman facing forwards with her head tilted to the right. She has slightly crossed eyes but her general gaze is directed below and to the left of where the viewer would be. She has long curly hair and a braid around her head.
Text from the accompanying booklet produced by the Vasari Society:
"No. 6
SCHOOL OF LEONARDO DA VINCI
STUDY FOR A HEAD OF THE VIRGIN
Collection of A. J. Ram, Esq., K. C. Silver point on grey prepared paper.
14.8 x 12.4 cm. (5 13/16 x 4 7/8 in.).
This is one of a group of attractive Leonardoesque drawings scattered in various collections and commonly ascribed to his Milanese pupil Boltraffio, whose types and sentiment they certainly reproduce, but in a manner which seems somewhat too hard and mechanical for Boltraffio himself.
S. C."
