Various art historians have suggested that the young Leonardo da Vinci, who was a member of Verrocchio's studio, may have painted some part of this work,[4] most likely the fish,[5] or the dog, supported by David Alan Brown, of the National Gallery, Washington. If so, this would be perhaps the first extant example of a painting with input by Leonardo.[6]
