latest news about Monalisa's painting says that the dress she is wearing is the dress wored by the pregnent or newly became mothers in those days. So I think bcoz of her child's arrival she is happy and as she is standing in front of a painter so she is trying hide her happiness by smiling very inwardly.

That is a very good question. I had never thought about it. Maybe she was just happy someone wanted to paint her picture? SMILE If you find out the answer let me know please. God Bless

I would like to think she is smiling because she just got good news about something very important to her! But perhaps it was because she was a little in love with the handsome painter!

It's been said that Da Vinci hired jesters to make her simile while he painted. Also Mona Lisa's simle was somewhat like Da Vinci's mother's and that's why he didn't want to part with the painting.

Some say that the reason that the Mona Lisa was smiling because of the happy feeling Leonardo Da Vinci was experiencing during the time he painted this great artwork. He has achieved a masterpiece of a work on science and art.
