Developed from a 1490 metalpoint drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, this stunning study of a man's mid-torso, seen from the side, is available as an original work of art, as an electronic image you can use on your computer, and as frontispiece for fine notecards. The original was created on delicate, translucent paper, textured with parchment-like ripples, giving it a classical, old-world feel and making it perfect as a see-through cover atop another image or your most personal correspondence. Masculine, bold, and still gently expressive, the image itself will reflect admirably on any sender.
