What is the story behind the smile of the Mona Lisa?

Answer 1

What happened here is some people say it is because she has gum and dental problems but what i think is that when somebody tells you "sit down i am going to paint you" you would not look grumpy or really happy with a big smile. it is normal to smile a little so you can brighten up, really. but some also say that she was secretly in love with Leonardo da vinci (the painter of Mona Lisa. some also say that she was pretending to be happy. see the thing is her husband was a merchant, so he traveled a lot sometimes even out all the way in the ocean. so the theory is that she mostly felt unhappy or lonely, so when Leonardo Da Vinci decided to paint her she tried as hard as she could to smile and be happy, hence her beautiful and mysterious smile

Answer 2

Mona Lisa had an affair with the painter. The painter was nude while he was painting her. Some say that right before the painting, both of them did naughty things. SO that's why she has a more of a grim on her face, kind of like she is saying "Hurry up finish the painting, so i can get down and dirty".
