Questions for Mona Lisa

photo by Sylvia

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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
