Attr. Leonardo Da Vinci (Italy, France, 1452 - 1519) Drawing. Ink/Paper. With Possible Initial/Monogram in lower right portion of image. Provenance: Private California Collection. Leonardo's legendary renown as an artist has remained on the highest level from his own times to the present day in spite of his surprisingly small known body of work: traditionally some fifteen paintings and less than seventy sketches and drawings relating to those paintings; of those drawings, only a small percentage might be considered more finished preparatory studies. However, some 4,000 drawings of one kind and another are integrated into his Notebooks and speak of his mastery of the medium. The incomparable quality of Leonardo's artistic body of work and the creative vigor of his scientific intellect have combined to idealize him as the classic Renaissance Man. Image Size: 3.5 x 7.5 in. Overall Size: 11.25 x 15.75 in.
