A Newly Discovered Leonardo Sketch of Saint Sebastian? First Impressions: Four Possibilities

A Newly Discovered Leonardo Sketch of Saint Sebastian? First Impressions: Four Possibilities .  Read about the identification  here  and  here .  My immediate first impression: It sure looks like the real deal!  The fact that Leonardo's characteristic mirror handwriting appears on the reverse strengthens this impression, as does the left handed cross-hatching on the front, and the general style of drawing, which looks very much like Leonardo's.  When we ask the question of authenticity there are three possibilities: (1) the drawing on both front and back come from the hand of Leonardo, (2) the drawing on the back is by Leonardo but the drawing on the front by someone else, (3) the drawing on the front is by Leonardo and the drawing on the back is by someone else, and (4) the drawing on both front and back are by someone other than Leonardo.

Ronald V. Huggins Reloaded

After my computer was stolen I couple of weeks ago I lost control of my blog.   All my efforts using the recovery guidance provided by Google failed to restore it to me.  No sign that anyone else has taken it over or using it.  It's just that I am locked out.  So I am starting over.  I will use this page to provide links to earlier blogs of mine.  But please understand that I am no longer able to edit those blogs. You can go back through them here: http://ronaldvhuggins.blogspot.co.at/ Here are some links pages: WHEN DID VARIOUS EASTERN RELIGIOUS TEXTS BECOME AVAILABLE IN ENGLISH? A LINKS PAGE FOR STUDYING A.
