Experts from the Louvre Museum believe that the drawing of a nude woman called Monna Vanna may have been created by Leonardo da Vinci or his students.
The sketch has been in the collection of the Condé Museum since 1862. It is created by coal. The drawing is the original, not a copy of the lost original. According to the researchers, he could represent the initial sketch, from which the picture was later to turn out.
The features of the woman in the picture, according to experts, strongly resemble those of the famous Mona Lisa. In addition, the drawing is the same size as the Mona Lisa. Researchers have confirmed that the sketch dates from the turn of the 15th - 16th centuries.
According to experts, it is still impossible to say that the drawing was created by Leonardo. The strokes near the woman's head were done with a right-hander, while Leonardo wrote with his left hand.
Experts believe that they will be able to establish the authorship of the drawing within two years.
