I mentioned this in your previous question. Leonardo used the Sfumato technique which he invented. It reflects Leonardo's latest research in the erosion of rocks by water, In the landscape behind the sitter we can see the strata eroded by the river. It embodies Leonardo's philosophical thought. 'The figure of the woman with her live presence immersed in the perennial becoming of nature'. Carlo Pedretti. 'As the water you touch in rivers is the last of which went and the first of that which is arriving, so is the present time.' Leonardo da Vinci. The Mona Lisa's smile captures the notion of moti mentali or motions of the mind. A painted expression of a captured thought or emotion.

the unique things about mona lisa are:
the lack of eyebrows on her face;
her ambiguous smile - you don't know if she's smiling or not;
the uneven background - signifies the male and female - or you could say it's similar to yin and yang;
and the mystery of her gender.

I read somewhere that when the painting was x-rayed (for whatever reason) that they found 3 or 4 other paintings of her under the original...Da Vinci painted her once, didn't like it and then re-painted it several other times

pesence and personality....she's not beautiful...she is more intriguing and self-possessed than anything else!!!and there is always the element that leonardo was painting himself as a woman!!!!and the incongruous smile becomes even more understandable!!

homosexuality of Leonardo Da Vinchi of course
He always wanted to be a woman...
I think as he was drawing her he felt like seeing himself in the mirror
