      Mona Lisa has no eyebrows and eyelashes. If you look at the background you can observe that Mona Lisa smiles, but you look at her face Mona Lisa doesn’t smile. All is a mystery...

      The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911, by a former employee who believed the painting belonged in Italy. The thief walked out of the gallery with the picture underneath his painter's smock. He was apprehended by police two years later, and the painting was safely returned. It is the beginning of the myth of this portrait and Leonardo da Vinci.

      Mona Lisa has no eyebrows and eyelashes. Some researchers claim that it was common at this time for genteel women to pluck them out, since they were considered to be unsightly. For modern viewers the missing eyebrows add to the slightly abstract quality of the picture.

      The Mona Lisa's famous smile is a visual representation of the idea of happiness suggested by the word 'gioconda' in Italian. Leonardo made this notion of happiness the central motif of the portrait, its this notion which makes the work such an ideal.
