Why a DC Art Museum Acquired This Odd Drawing
Briefly

Okay, so it's not exactly "Mona Lisa."But this tiny drawing-just two and a half by two inches-is a genuine work by Leonardo da Vinci, and it was recently donated to the National Gallery of Art." Grotesque Head of an Old Woman," as it's called (for obvious reasons), dates to the late 1400s, and it's one of about 30 such studies he did on physiognomy, or human facial expressions and features.
