If you have the time and patience, there are a number of paintings on this site that I've not seen before: One example (besides the one Bjarne shared) : http://www.kleio.org/frauen/abb17a.htm
There's a color copy of this one at http://englishhistory.net/tudor/relative/brandon.html and isn't that beadwork on her sleeves *gorgeous*
And if this is truely a self portrait of Leonardo....whoo hoo! http://www.kleio.org/leonardo/leonardo.htm Wish I'd known that boy! (Ahem! Did I say that outloud?) Very cool...sure would love to see the colored ones!
I looked through my (well the libraries copy) of Renaissance Self-Portraiture and it's not in there. It's not in my copy of Campbell's Renaissance Portraits either. Neither one of those things really means anything. I've never seen that painting either -- and of my sources, those are the places where I'd expect to find it. He's alleged to have used his own face for the Mona Lisa. He's also supposed to have been the model for Donatello's David.
