Researchers believe that they might have found the woman who may have been the Mona Lisa. She is believed to been Lisa Gherardini. She was the wife of a wealthy silk merchant. The articxle says that the picture may not have had that smile at first and that she may have looked very depressed and dark until the smile was added onto it. The researchers are now going to try to replicate her remains to see if she was actually the mona lisa or not.
