A Swiss-based art foundation says new scientific findings support its claim that the “Isleworth Mona Lisa” is an earlier version of Leonardo da Vinci’s 15th century portrait. But some prominent experts remain unconvinced.


Last September the Zurich-based Mona Lisa Foundation unveiled what it claims is a younger portrayal of Da Vinci’s muse – in her early 20s, a decade younger than the version in the Louvre – supported by various scientific tests and historical and archival records gathered over 35 years that they say proves the authenticity of their Da Vinci painting, known as the Isleworth Mona Lisa.
