Mona Lisa was da Vinci's Model
She was pregnant in the mona lisa he couldn't be pregnant even if he was gay. and there is a later painting of her looking much thin and in young man hat /clothe, in the Mon Salai(rearranged alphabets to Mona Lisa). Apparently lost baby wieght. she was a model and not a client as sugessted by some she could be detected in much of his paintings of females incluidng the one with the subject believed to be St.Mary and the Child, not to forget that painting of her nude, body (only) looks as if it was influenced by Picasso's rather than Da Vinci's style but her face is what we know Da Vinci liked in paintings, i made my mind yrs ago after so many yrs of studying that he was a researcher more than just a painter, human paintings were used by him as dummies(altering may occur), we didn't understand just because so many fell in love with the Mona Lisa first, her following eyes and the spirit behind it. the painting took over fame against other paintings by him, then the point is: if the painting can tell resemblance, i agree. but it is always Mona Lisa resemblance with every other female subject he done, even the one with St.Mary as a subject.
they can look up a painting by Da Vinci in his very old days maybe over 70 yrs old face to face /profile wise with a young guy its called YOUNG HEAD OLD HEAD, and they may find the answer, there.
