Despite the fact that it is unfinished, the two faces of the women are very beautiful.

This is definitely a piece all its own - I"ve never seen one quite like it... It looks very finished to me. Despite knowing it isn't like that, I can't get over the sinister impression I have of Anne due to her shading.

...as for it being a cartoon, it is more than likely such. There is a cartoon presumed to be by Leonardo, which has been perforated, for a portrait of Isabella D'Este, that was also apparently never executed. The perforations are only on the major lines, since I assume Leonardo was confident enough in either his own, or his assistants, abilities.

not Saint Anne but Saint Élisabeth should be.A reproduction of the original cartoon made in 1913 by the House of Braun, establishes Élisabeth and not Saint Anne as it appears on the reproductioné

just a question, when Jesus touched John the Baptist's neck, could it mean the John's future decapitation instead of a blessing?

Perhaps it's not quite as black and white as your question suggests.

@@smarthistory-art-history so... you're guess is he might have believed in an afterlife but not any specific religion, or perhaps in some elements of christianity but not all of them? that's reasonable, considering his artistic works on christian topics paralleled to his very unchristian, for the time, doings in private. but i can't help but think that a man of that intellect must have been an atheist, if that isn't rude to say

That is only one of many degrees of belief, or aspects of belief, that someone who lives in a deeply religious society might hold. It seems very likely that degrees of belief wax and wane over time in nearly every person. I am cautious about saying "this person believed this" for example. I think we all believe differently at different moments in our lives. Although there are some artists who stand out for their faith. Bernini for example.
