Image description

In this drawing, and in RCIN 912490, Leonardo addresses the theme of aged lovers: the woman in a low-cut bodice now has an ostentatious headdress, while the gap-toothed man, gazing ardently at her, wears a similarly old-fashioned outsized hat. He appears to be offering the woman a flower, and the drawing is therefore a rather cruel satire on the vanity and ridiculousness of the elderly behaving like young lovers.
