VARIOUS COLLECTIONS.

Collection of the Duke of Devonshire, K.G., at Chatsworth.

I. Studies for the heads of the Virgin and S. John the Baptist in the Virgin of the Rocks. Silver-point, on greenish paper. (Braun, no. 48.) Reproduced, vol. i., pl. vi.

II. Leda and the Swan. With one knee on the ground and the other half bent, Leda draws

the amorous bird towards her with her left hand, while, with her right, she picks a flower. Not in Leonardo's manner; perhaps by Sodoma, to whom Morelli ascribes it. Should be compared with the drawing at Weimar.

III. Portrait of an old man, with a prominent chin and no beard. This seems to me to represent with some slight exaggeration — the same individual as the Ambrosiana drawing. (Brogi, 7421. Braun, no. 40).

IV. Three separate drawings, one with a procession; the second, an old man declaiming, seen to the waist; the third, seven heads of Abbés. Only the second is in the manner of Leonardo; the first and third are not even of the sixteenth century. (Braun, no. 52.)

V. Four studies of heads. A he-goat. The two upper male heads, fine as they are, have nothing to do with Leonardo; neither has the goat. All three are indisputably the work of Pisanello (the goat recalls the medal of Cecilia Gonzaga, where he is metamorphosed into a unicorn). As for the heads below (the one an old man, with a huge chin and no beard, turned to the right, the other a man wearing a falling cap and with a grin on his face) they are indeed in Leonardo's manner, but I should not venture to pronounce upon their authenticity. (Braun, no. 46.)

VI. Four grimacing profiles, all turned to the right. of Thoroughly characteristic Leonardo. (Braun, no. 53.)

VII. Four heads, caricatures, on two sheets of paper, arranged in pairs, facing each other. In Leonardo's manner. (Braun, no. 55.)

VIII. Four heads, separated, and facing each other; two caricatures, male and female; front face of a beardless man; profile of another. These seem to me copies. (Braun, no. 54.)

IX. A man and a woman, to the waist, facing each other. The man's head is identical with that in Braun, no. 46. (Braun, no. 49.)

A copy or forgery.

X. Profile portrait of a middle-aged man to the right; very slight beard. Red chalk. A blurred drawing, of doubtful authenticity. (Braun, no. 50.)

XI. A man of a Rabelaisian countenance, embracing a female of corresponding appearance; both seen to the bust. Nothing to do with Leonardo; the workmanship German. Below, two genii supporting the Medici arms. (Braun, no. 56.)

Captain Holford's Collection, Dorchester
House, London.

A horseman, in profile. Study for the Sforza monument. I only know this drawing through a communication made to me by Mr. Sidney Colvin, Keeper of the Prints at the British Museum.

Two children, monsters, one with a double head. (Lomazzo, Trattato, etc., p. 637.)

Portrait of Amerigo Vespucci. According to Vasari, Leonardo made the portrait of the famous geographer. It was a splendid head of an old man, done in charcoal. De Toni doubts whether Leonardo could have painted Vespucci in his old age. Vespucci, he says, was not yet forty when Leonardo quitted Florence. He thinks it must have been the traveller's grandfather whom Leonardo painted; his name was also Amerigo. (Ritratto Leonardesco di Amerigo Vespucci, Padua, 1898.)

In one of his manuscripts, Leonardo notes that: "Il Vespuccio mi vol dare un libro di geometria." (Richter, vol. ii., p. 436.)

The illustrations to certain manuscripts and printed books have been ascribed to Leonardo, but without foundation. On this question see the Ricerche of Signor Uzielli, vol. ii., p. 377387. See also above, vol. i., p. 219–220.

A few licentious designs have been ascribed to Leonardo and his entourage. One or two of them (A Young Man surprising a Sleeping Girl-A Fool Making Love to a Girl) have been engraved by Giovanni Antonio da Brescia. (Duplessis, Revue universelle des Arts, vol. xv., p. 162.)

worthy of his genius, and, in execution, show so many analogies, not to say identities, with his drawings that we may admit them without hesitation into the list of his authentic works.

I. The Muse (according to Passavant, Le Peintre Graveur, vol. v., p. 180, no. 2, this is a man's head!) has many analogies with the Saint John the Baptist of the South Kensington Museum (reproduced, vol. i., p. 49), especially when the latter is looked at in profile. Examples in the British Museum and in the French Cabinet des Estampes. Reproduced, vol. i.,

p. 216.

Reproduced,

II. Portrait of a young woman. vol. i., p.217. Doubtful. British Museum. III. Four designs for equestrian statues. Reproduced, vol. i., p. 221. One of them is the exact reproduction of one of the Windsor drawings, reproduced, vol. ii. p. 5. British Museum.

IV. Head of an old man, slightly turned to the right; a hood, disordered hair. (Bartsch, vol. xiii., p. 241, no. 21.) School of Leonardo.

V. Another head of a beardless old man, front face. (Bartsch, vol. xiii., p. 241, no. 22.) Reproduced, vol. i., p. 220. Formerly ascribed to Mantegna; school of Leonardo.

VI. Another head of an old man, threequarters to the left; no beard. He wears a double cap. (Bartsch, vol. xiii., p. 242, no. 23.) In Leonardo's manner, except the mouth, which is not characteristic. The burin is handled, exactly as Leonardo handled the pen.

VII. Three heads of horses. (Bartsch, vol. xiii., p. 330, no. 24; Passavant, vol. v., p. 54.) The ascription to Leonardo seems to me incon
