One of these drawings at Florence represents the favorite Milanese type which Leonardo has immortalized in his picture of the Virgin and St. Anne, the hair falling in rolling waves, almost in ringlets, over the shoulders, the shorter front locks finely crimped, and brushed forward over the cheeks so as to conceal the ears, a small veil covering the nape, and on the top of the head a flat chignon of coiled braids bound round with a broad band or plaited fillet, over which is a diadem with a circular jewel or ferronniere in the centre flanked by small wings, while on each side above the ear two bunches of frizzed hair escape from beneath the band, and from the summit of the chignon another bunch of feathery hair rises like a natural aigrette. In the Museum of Venice another head by Leonardo is represented with a crown or fillet of vine branches and leaves, and the hair falling in ajnpleringlets on each side of the head below the fillet. In the Ambrosian Library at Milan is a drawing by Leonardo of a very simple coiffure in which the hair is parted in the middle; from the front tresses are taken wherewith to make three triple plaits or braids, the first one starting on a level with the eyebrows, the one behind it a little lower, and the third one a little lower still; then these three braids are looped up one above the other and tied at the back of the head, thus holding in position the long hair that falls in waves behind over the neck.
