Furthermore, the cartoon of the painting you link to has been discovered under the painting itself; the cartoon above is of a different piece of art altogether. @JBishop Most art historians have dated the cartoon above as having been rendered after the execution of the painting you link to in your response, which was painted in 1498 (some dates for the cartoon are as lat as 1508).

Quite an interesting analysis of the image. Taking a look at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Leonardo_da_Vinci_020.jpg" rel="nofollow">the final product</a>, Da Vinci has replaced the second child with a lamb with which the baby Jesus seems to be performing an unnatural act. That this survived is also sort of curious, when looked at from my perverted point of view. Okay, that’s just wacky. Quite an interesting analysis of the image.
