  1. Breathtaking, Da Vinci has made this virgin's face so expressive, but that's why he is a legend. No one has or probably ever will create art the way he did.

  2. I love that at first glance, I could see that it was a work of Da Vinci. But I wouldn't have know, but for you, that this was from the drafts for the Virgin of the Rocks. Thank you Judie, it is a beautiful piece indeed.
