The Joconde, or Portrait of Mona Lisa (Mona meaning ‘Madam’ in Italian) is a Leonardo Da Vinci oil portrait painted between 1503 - 1506. It is the most widely known painting in the Louvre in Paris! In Italian, ‘giocondo’ means ‘happy, serene’. Leonardo surely painted not solely the portrait of a woman but the portrait of an expression. Famous for her iconic smile, Mona Lisa seems to follow you with her eyes as you look at the painting from different angles.

Did you finish your puzzle? Well done! Now look at it closely. Do you see the veil in her hair? The patterns on her neckline? How many pillars does the bridge in the background have?
