The portrait has been extensively reproduced and has become an iconic representation of Leonardo as a polymath or "Renaissance Man".

The History of Leonardo da Vinci's Self Portrait

Leonardo da Vinci's Self Portrait is believed to have been created in the early 16th century, around 1510. The original painting measures 33.3 x 21.3 cm (13 1/8 x 8 3/8 in.) and is now held in the magnificent collection of the Biblioteca Reale, Turin.

The Art of Sanguine

Sanguine is a type of art media that has been used for centuries to create stunning works of art. It is made from red chalk, which gives it its distinctive color, and is often used in conjunction with other media such as charcoal or graphite.

Sanguine is particularly well-suited for creating expressive sketches and studies, making it an ideal medium for Leonardo da Vinci's Self Portrait. The use of red chalk allows for subtle variations in tone and shading, resulting in a lifelike and realistic depiction of the subject.
