[edit] Are we certain this is painted by Leonardo Da Vinci?

The article on Leonardo Da Vinci states that this painting is attributed to Da Vinci most of the time, but that it is not certain and there are critics how maintain a different opinion. I am not an expert on this subject, but if there is literature presenting this opinion it would seem important for the purposes of a neutral point of view to at least mention the evidence supporting a painter who is not Da Vinci.

[edit] Only example in the US?

My understanding is that this painting is the only Da Vinci (If he did in fact create it) in the United States...is that worth mentioning? Antimatter--talk-- 17:39, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peeling Paint?

I seem to remember hearing a long time ago that Leonardo mixed his own pigments, and that the paint on this portrait is beginning to crack and peel away, not being a particularly good batch. Has anyone else heard similar? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Albino Bebop (talk • contribs) 15:18, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
