Description:

“La Scapigliata” (The Lady with Dishevelled Hair) is a delicate and enigmatic unfinished portrait by Leonardo da Vinci, created around 1506–1508. This small yet profound artwork depicts a young woman’s head in soft profile, with loose, flowing hair and downcast eyes. Executed in oil, umber, and white lead on panel, the painting is housed in the Galleria Nazionale di Parma in Italy. Despite its incomplete state, the work exudes an ethereal beauty and emotional subtlety that are hallmarks of Leonardo’s genius.

Leonardo’s mastery is evident in the tender modeling of the face and the almost dreamlike quality of the figure’s expression. The hair, though seemingly unkempt, is rendered with graceful motion, contrasting the serene, contemplative face. La Scapigliata embodies Leonardo’s fascination with feminine beauty, psychological depth, and the study of nature and anatomy. Though not as widely known as the Mona Lisa, this intimate portrait has captivated art historians for centuries and is considered a sublime example of Leonardo’s ability to blend science, emotion, and form with effortless grace.
