daCodex style oil painting, layered glazes. 15th century. View from top down. A dark wooden surface. On top of the surface lays many sketches on top of each other. The top one is a daCodex style drawing using cross-hatching. The drawing shows the portrait of a young woman. Below is the handwritten text "da Vinci Codex" in large writing. The drawing is done on parchment which is aged and slightly worn, with ink smudges and subtle imperfections. On top of the drawing is an antique silver stylus, casting a slight shadow on the drawing.
