The subject of this painting is Ginevra de Benci, the daughter of a wealthy Florentine banker. It was believed to have been commisioned at the time of her marriage. This painting is considered significant for a number of reasons. For one this is one of the first paintings in which da Vinci experiments with oil as a medium. The painting also shows techniques that would later become staples in his work, in particular naturalism, which is notable in the soft and gradual shadows of the work. Unfortunately the panel has been cut by a few inches which has removed her hands.

This drawing remained unknown for 360 years until restoration work began on the Codex Atlanticus. It is believed to be a drawing to be a drawing by Leonardo&#039;s pupil Salai. Likely, Salai was copying one of Leonardo&#039;s drawings. It continues to be one of the most surprising and unexpected drawings.
