PRINTS AND THEIR MAKERS

After Leonardo da Vinci

“Of the prints attributed to Leonardo, the fascinating _Profile Bust of a Young Woman_ stands out from the rest for the sensitive quality of its outline, but even here I would be more ready to see the hand of an engraver like Zoan Andrea.”

Arthur M. Hind.
