Are you actually smiling? And if so, what are you smiling at?
What have you seen in the eyes of a genius, in the bedrooms of kings, in the closet of thieves?
Are you Lisa del Giocondo, or the Virgin Mary, or are you a female Leonardo?
What happened to your eyebrows?
Do you miss traveling?
Why aren’t you wearing jewelry?
Do you think you are beautiful?
Are you lonely?

Just a small smile. I smile for the whole world.
I’ve seen it all, but tell nothing.
A bit of each.
I like an understated look.
I’ve been everywhere I wanted to go.
Jewelry would distract you from my face.
That is for you to surmise.
Never.

I have never really thought of that look as a smile. To me, she seems somewhat contented and relaxed, like she’s come to the end of a tough day and has handled it well, but is also tired and needs the sitting to be over! I like your questions.

Your questions reminded me of a little documentary I watched awhile ago about Mona Lisa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElWG0_kjy_Y.
The mystery of the painting in its very quiet way really does bewitch.
