The Madonna of the Yarnwinder (Italian: Madonna dei Fusi “Madonna of the Spindles”) is a subject depicted by Leonardo da Vinci in at least one and perhaps two paintings begun in 1499 or later. Leonardo was recorded as being at work on one such picture in Florence in 1501 for Florimond Robertet a secretary to King Louis XII of France. This may have been delivered to the French court in 1507 though scholars are divided on this point.
