This famous sanguine drawing, probably made between 1512 and 1515, is considered Leonardo’s most authentic portrait. The work, kept in the Royal Library in Turin, depicts an elderly man with a long beard and intense gaze. This face, imbued with expression and depth, has become a symbol of the Renaissance genius, evoking the wisdom and mystery of his personality.
