- Recently attributed as a Leonardo by Carlo Pedretti. Previously regarded as the work of Giampietrino who painted a number of similar Magdalenes. Carlo Pedretti's attribution of this painting is not accepted by other scholars, e.g. Carlo Bertelli, (former director of the Brera Art Gallery in Milan), who said this painting is not by Leonardo and that the subject could be a Lucretia with the knife removed.

- Oil on poplar
- San Francisco, private collection

- Previously attributed by Sotheby's to Gian-Francesco de Maineri. Attributed to Leonardo by its present owner. Attribution based on the similarity of the tormentors of Christ to drawings made by Rubens of the Battle of Anghiari. According to Forbes Magazine, Leonardo expert Carlo Pedretti said that he knew of three similar paintings and that "All four paintings, he believed, were likely the work of Leonardo's studio assistants and perhaps even the master himself."

- Discovered in 2008 in a private collection and identified as a self-portrait by Peter Hohenstatt and others. A date in the late 15th or 16th century has been confirmed by scientific testing. Fingerprints match those found on the Lady with the Ermine. Alternately attributed to Cristofano dell'Altissimo.
