Leonardo, The head of Judas, c.1495 (preparatory for the Last Supper in Milan), red chalk on red prepared paper @RCT

One of the most compelling drawings in the history of art. The powerful red on red technique amplifies the emotions of the character.

Rembrandt, The Last Supper, after Leonardo, c. 1634-35, red chalk, 362 x 475 mm @metmuseum

A large and emotionally dense study which emphasises the apostles' reactions.

1 of 3 drawings by Rembrandt based on Leonardo's Supper, a work that profoundly captured his imagination.

Leonardo, A Bear Walking, 1482-85, silverpoint, @metmuseum

Probably drawn from life; in one of his notebooks Leonardo writes “I will discourse of the hands of each animal to show in what way they vary, as in the bear which has the ligatures of the toes joined above the instep.”
