LDV 'A cloudburst' ...part 4

Leonardo Da Vinci’s, A cloudburst of material possessions c1506-12 

Black chalk pen and ink (part 4)

There is a lion prowling in the clouds at top left, its head in two positions, and the note above, ‘on this side Adam, on that, Eve’ (see part 2).

I was only able to see the second face (Eve, on the right), by superimposing yellow Brolly fabric (and lightening the saturation) on this area.  I have now done the same to what looks like two other facial features.

The facial features on the right side seem to include three blended elements:

• A Lady’s head facing to the left.
• A Man’ head facing to the right eyes looking down
• Part of the Lady’s face doubles as a heart shape and the man’s beard

What a genius!

Perhaps this is the Adam and Eve reference intended rather than the images on the left side of the sketch (see part 1)

Yellow brolly fabric have been superimposed and made semi-transparent on this section.
