Traitté de la Peinture 1651

This is a drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, part of a larger collection of notes and sketches titled "Traitté de la Peinture," which was compiled in 1651. The drawing itself is of a young woman, likely a study for a larger painting. Da Vinci was known for his meticulous observation of the human form and his innovative use of sfumato, which creates a subtle, almost hazy effect in his work. The drawing is a testament to his mastery of the human figure and his meticulous approach to art.
