PLATE IV.—LEONARDO DA VINCI
(1452–1519)
FLORENTINE SCHOOL
No. 1601.—PORTRAIT OF MONA LISA
(La Joconde)

The portrait of Lisa di Anton Maria di Noldo Gherardini, third wife of Francesco di Bartolommeo de Zenobi del Giocondo. She is seated in a chair on which her left arm rests, her right hand superposed on the left. She is turned three-quarters to her right. Her hair, divided in the centre and seen under a transparent veil, falls in curls on her shoulders; her dark almond-shaped eyes look out at the spectator; the mouth is smiling. She wears a dark-green dress with golden-brown sleeves; a dark cloak is draped over her shoulders. The background is formed by a mountainous landscape full of incident.

Painted in tempera on panel, and restored in oil.

2 ft. 6½ in. × 1 ft. 9 in. (0·79 × 0·53.)
