Created around the year 1508, this masterpiece is a rare surviving example of da Vinci's explorations into the human anatomy, showcasing his unparalleled ability to blend art and science. The intricately detailed drawing, executed in pen and pencil on paper, is currently housed in the esteemed collection of the Royal Collection in London.

The drawing offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of history's most enigmatic figures. The delicate interplay of light and shadow reveals the complex labyrinth of the brain's convolutions, while the precise attention to detail and anatomical accuracy demonstrate da Vinci's unrivaled mastery of the graphic arts.
