Unknown Italian Artist - La Gioconda or The Mona Lisa [1503-16], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
Until recently, this painting was considered one of the many existing versions of the famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci preserved in the Louvre. Technical examination and restoration carried out between 2011 and 2012 have shown that this is the earliest copy of the Mona Lisa - evidence of the activities of Leonardo’s workshop. The dimensions of both figures are identical and were perhaps traced from the same cartoon.
