One is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, called Ginevra de' Benci.
Below is the reverse side of the panel.
The National Gallery acquired the artwork in 1968 for $5 million, which was a record high price at the time.
If the Ginevra painting were sold today, it might fetch a price nearly 100 times the 1968 price. Recently, another da Vinci set a record high sale price. In November 2017, da Vinci's Salvator Mundi sold at auction for $450 million.
