Besides the Last Supper, L never painted in perfect symmetry. Even in the Last Supper L used a nice wavy flow across. There is no other painting (much less any portrait-like one) by L that uses perfect symmetry. L never followed the style or conventions of other painters (Dürer, Gossaert, Menling)👇🏻
