Among Leonardo’s many famous pieces of art, La Scapigliata(commonly referred to simply asFemale Head ) is one that could be considered slightly unorthodox for its time. Critics argued that da Vinci was not simply sketching a woman with uncombed hair; instead, they suggest he was creating a work of art that depicts the natural beauty and power inherent in women. Leonardo da Vinci's La Scapigliata maintains a sense of equality between men and women in a time when such equality did not exist.
