The head of a grotesque animal c.1490-95
-
Recto: a drawing of the head of a grotesque animal in profile to the right. It is apparently a kind of goat, with an immensely long, drooping ear. Verso: the words 'Ch como no Jpanno ca' in a hand dating from about 1500, and not Leonardo's.
Provenance
Bequeathed to Francesco Melzi; from whose heirs purchased by Pompeo Leoni, c.1582-90; Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel, by 1630; Probably acquired by Charles II; Royal Collection by 1690
