Head of a Woman

The Head of a Woman also known as La Scapigliata is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Leonardo da Vinci, housed in the Galleria Nazionale di Parma, Italy. The work is an unfinished painting, mentioned for the first time in the House of Gonzaga. It is perhaps the same work that Ippolito Calandra, suggested to hang in the bedroom of Margaret Paleologa, wife of Federico II Gonzaga. The marquesses wrote to Pietro Novellara asking if Leonardo could paint a Madonna for her private studiolo.
