After much more searching I have come up with an updated answer to "Who painted this? #7" It is drawn by Da Vinci in silverpoint and white chalk or paint in 1474. It is called "Study of Arms and Hands" and thought to be a study for the painting called "Lady with an Ermine". It is now in the Royal Collection. Research has shown me that there is more than one answer to the same question while searching the internet. Hope this second answer is allowed. If I continue to search I just may find a third :>)Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180979989285217385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-53477807232993165692012-12-09T11:54:26.555+00:002012-12-09T11:54:26.555+00:00Hi Katherine,

The date of the drawing is around 1474. That exhibition made a very strong impression on the very young me, so it was a matter of finding out the details of when and who on Google, not that any reference I found mentioned where the drawing actually was or who owned it, just where it is being exhibited! I visited the Queen's Gallery down Buckingham Palace Road only a short time before I left the UK for good. Opening the Queen's private art collection to the public was unheard of at that time. I hope my memory has not let me down!spinningdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211231649784777346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-8269254495278116022012-12-08T18:50:52.641+00:002012-12-08T18:50:52.641+00:00the title of the drawing - Study of Hands

The drawing is done in red chalk and was done around 1503 as the time frame for the painting is 1503-1519. I recognized the style as Da Vinci's but had to do a bit of googling to find out the details.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02180979989285217385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-58232535593361918932012-12-08T16:00:35.252+00:002012-12-08T16:00:35.252+00:00Who painted this #7

It's done in silverpoint with white chalk on pink prepared paper. The title now is "Study of Arms and Hands." Since I knew it was Da Vinci, the rest was easy. I found the title on a website with the drawings of Leonardo and then with the title, Google found the full description in a book by Taschen.<br />That was fun,<br />Janisjdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11013701321272042012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-58416657757378612872012-12-08T14:06:22.072+00:002012-12-08T14:06:22.072+00:00Leonardo da Vinci Study of Hands
