La Scapigliata

Portraits

La Scapigliata is an unfinished painting generally attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci, dated to around 1506 to 1508. Painted in oil, umber and white lead pigments on a small poplar wood panel, it depicts the head of a young woman with dishevelled hair rendered in soft sfumato shading, while the rest of the composition remains only sketched. Its attribution to Leonardo himself, rather than to a pupil, remains disputed among experts, though the work is widely admired for its captivating and mysterious quality.
