"Lady with an Ermine"
According to Leonardo da Vinci

Painted under my direction by one of my best pupils, Marie-Hélène Pataud.

Boiled linseed oil and rosin on wood.
Painted over 4 years with glaze technique.
The work is finished!
It is now necessary to wait two years for warnishing. Time for polymerization of the linseed oil

Regrettably the magnificently subtle beauty of the glazes and their brightness, the impression of relief, can be perceived only by the direct observation of the painting.
The principle of the glaze being, by nature, an optical system.
