1304 Female Head La Scapigliata C1508 - Leonardo Da Vinci Painting

There’s a story untold,
A mystery to unfold.

Even in her unfinished state,
Her beauty will forever captivate.

Her delicate face, unable to mask.
 
His brush has brought her to life,
Serene and peaceful devoid of strife.

Mona

The famous portrait of Mona Lisa
globally known like Mother Thersa

Her pose so perfect, not a hair out of place, 
a hint of a smile I see on her face

A touch of cleavage painted for view,
as if she’s been painted to draw me to you

White porcelain skin, 
fingers strong yet thin,
a busty women not big nor

Art - Leonardo Da Vinci

MONA LISA

For ten years his paint brushes danced to the motion
of his hands on a white Lombardy poplar panel,
creating inimitable effects with the image he created –
Yes! Of one Lisa Gherardini, wife of a nobleman,
Francesco del Giocondo.
For ten years he handled his painting like a holy grail,
seeking to perfect his genius in  different colored
oils,
