Leonardo da Vinci - La Scapigliata La Scapigliata is widely known as The Female Head. In Italian, La Scapigliata means “Woman who is uncombed” which explains the ringlets flowing down around her neck and shoulders. Leonardo da Vinci started La Scapigliata on Apr 15, 1452, but did not finish it until 67 years later on May 2, 1519. In this painting, da Vinci showed noble women to be equal to men in mental status. This is why her head appears three dimensional while her chest is only one dimensional.
