The "scapigliata" (Head of a Young Woman with Tousled Hair) is a work on wood attributed to Leonardo da Vinci in which a woman's head is portrayed, with a hint of the shoulders, turned three-quarters to the left and bent down with disheveled hair. The features are very delicate with a slight closed-lipped smile.
