LEONARDO da Vinci: Head of Judas

🖼 Head of Judas, -
Pencil, black chalk, paste, and watercolour

Rendered in subtle charcoal, a bearded face contorts with anguish and treachery, captured mid-thought. Leonardo's psychological intensity transforms a biblical villain into a profound study of human moral conflict and inner turmoil.
