About Leonardo da Vinci and Two Heads of Grotesque Animals (1490)

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) made this work around 1490–1495. Leonardo delighted in exaggerated, comic and grotesque faces. These caricature-like heads, widely copied in the following centuries, explore the extremes of human appearance and character, and they influenced artists across Europe. It measures about 13.8 x 17.4 cm. Like Leonardo's other drawings at Windsor, it passed after his death to his pupil Francesco Melzi, then to the sculptor Pompeo Leoni and to Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel, before entering the Royal Collection by around 1690.
