Cabeça da virgem vista de três-quartos olhando à direita

1510–13
Not on view
Este desenho de beleza lírica é provavelmente um estudo da cabeça da Virgem Maria na pintura de Leonardo intitulada A Virgem e o Menino com Santa Ana, que se encontra no Louvre em Paris, muito semelhante em escala e aparência. O artista usou uma rica combinação de técnicas, esfumaçando os traços de giz preto, giz vermelho e carvão para conseguir uma modelagem sutil com sombras “parecidas com fumaça” (sfumato), tal como ele mesmo descreveu essa técnica em suas notas. A extraordinária leveza atmosférica, a delicada modulação das formas e gradação matizada de luz e das sombras refletem os profundos conhecimentos de Leonardo sobre os fenômenos óticos, com base em suas observações científicas.
