Mona Lisa is a painting by the Italien painter Leonardo da Vinci. This painting was made by Leonardo da Vinci between around 1503 and 1506. It is an oil painting on poplar panel and is exhibition in the Louvre Museum in Paris. 

Details: The painting shows a young woman named Mona Lisa, who is sitting on a chair on a balcony in front of a strange landscape. The armrest of the chair, like your upper body, is positioned parallel to the plane of the picture. She has full cheeks, a broad forehead and no eyebrows. The left corner of the closed mouth announces a smile. The left hand grasps the left armrest and the slender fingers of the right rest gracefully on the left. Her hair has a fine, transparent veil, her dress falls into simple folds, and she drapes her coast over her left shoulder.
