The detailed drawing of a girl's head contains elements typical of the
school of Verrocchio, such as the diagonally placed eyes with the
considerably rounded pupils and hair painted in meticulous detail. A
relationship between this drawing and the Mary in the Annunciation
predella in the Louvre has quite rightly been established. The
attribution of the drawing to Leonardo is now just as disputed as its
dating. wga
