Sketches behind da Vinci painting
Dec. 18 - A curator at the Louvre Museum in Paris has stumbled upon some unknown drawings on the back of a painting by Leonardo da Vinci that look like they might be by the Italian master himself, the Louvre said on Thursday.
Detailed tests and infra red photography revealed three distinct drawings--- a horse's head, a part of a skull and an infant Jesus playing with a lamb. The extraordinary find was made by chance, when Louvre staff unhooked Leonardo's "The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne" from the museum wall as part of a broad program of study and restoration of paintings by Leonardo, including the "Mona Lisa." Pavithra George reports.
