New da Vinci sketches found on painting

Researchers at the Louvre have found several sketches made on the back of a Leonardo da Vinci painting. Sketches found were a horse head, part of a skull and baby Jesus with a lamb. Cool.

yes very cool indeed! I've always been fascinated with Da Vinci's work and hence this part of the forum that covers that age. Thank you for posting the link!
