Mona Lisa 1726 - 1748

This miniature portrait, titled "Mona Lisa," was created by the French artist David Gardelle between 1726 and 1748. The painting, now housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, depicts a woman with a gentle smile and delicate features. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes and realistic portrayal of the subject showcase the skill of miniature painting, a popular art form during the 18th century. The small size of the artwork, measuring only 6.5 cm in height and 5 cm in width, underscores the intimate nature of this genre.
