Hill profile: Rucano, Paradiso, Incontro
Black-chalk topographic profile of a wooded ridge, three localities named
A black-chalk profile of a rugged, wooded ridge with hatched slopes, drawn as a topographic study of the hill country south-east of Florence. Small mirror-script labels along the crest name Rucano, Paradiso and Incontro (Monte all'Incontro), fixing real localities of the survey. The sheet continues the group of landscape profiles connected with Leonardo's mapping of the Arno valley.
