The body turns slightly to the spectators right ; theface is seen full. Elaborate background of leaves. In the Burlington Magazine, May 1909, p. 108, a comparison is madebetween this picture and several other existing versions of the same subject.This is perhaps the best of the ten so far known, all of which derive from anoriginal by Leonardo da Vinci, or from some cartoon by him. The presentwork was bought by William Graham in 1876 from Signor Bcrtolini of Milan,who had it from the Gallery of the Duke of Litta. The traditional attribu-tion to Salaino is probably correct, and, as Vasari states that Leonardo himselfretouched some of the work of his pupil Salaino, it may be that this is theactual original from which all the others derive. lyoocl. 33 in. X 26 in. (0.839 x 0.66 i). Formerly in the Collection of William Graham, and sold April 9, 1886,No. 371
