Reflectogram

The water you touch in a river is the last of that which has passed, and the first of that which is coming. Thus it is with time present.
~Leonardo daVinci

For Art Thursday, an unfinished painting by DaVinci, but the infrared reflectogram version:

    How unusual to see a drawing that was made under the layers of a painting. And it's a beautiful "guide" drawing...it'll bet the painting itself would have been beautiful, too.
