Mona Lisa’s Twin

There are many copies of Leonardo’s famous painting but the articles spreading around regarding this Mona Lisa copy is really interesting; Conservators at Prado museum found out to this one was painted at same time as the original on the Louvre so much likely to be painted at Leonardo’s studio by one of his pupils.

The Mona Lisa copy had black paint over the background, added in 18th century as reported and was carefully removed by restorer, revealing interesting details not so well preserved in the Louvre painting.
