This antique engraving, in warm sepia tones, is a reproduction of a drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The number 135, printed at the top left, suggests it was part of an art portfolio or publication from the late 19th or early 20th century.
The subject is a striking Renaissance male profile, with delicately rendered features, expressive hair, and a classical posture that recalls da Vinci’s iconic studies. The timeworn paper gives it an authentic patina, elegantly enhanced by a vintage gold wooden frame and a cream-colored mat.
This piece is ready to hang and perfect for adding historic charm to a living room, library, office, or cabinet of curiosities.
