What is image of the mona lisa?

The Mona Lisa is a portrait painted by the famous Italian artist, Leonardo da Vinci, sometime between 1503-1506. The painting depicts a woman, believed to be Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy merchant from Florence, with a serene and enigmatic expression, looking out at the viewer. She is dressed in a long, dark gown with her hands delicately folded in her lap. The painting is known for its subtle shading techniques, including the sfumato technique, which gives the illusion of depth and softness. The background of the painting is a hazy landscape, painted with a sense of depth, but without any obvious vanishing point. The image of the Mona Lisa has become one of the most recognizable and reproduced artworks in history and has become the symbol of the Italian Renaissance.
