      "This book provides an in-depth analysis of a work that can quite legitimately be termed "extraordinary". Drawn on vellum, in a complex and extremely refined technique, the profile portrait of a girl, dressed in the striking fashion of Milan at the end of the 15th century, turns out to be a possible new autograph work by Leonardo da Vinci. Leading Leonardo expert Martin Kemp has conducted his own research into this intriguing object and coordinated the work of numerous specialists from the fields of scientific analysis and art-historical discourse. Their findings are presented here"--Foreword
