The document discusses theories about the Mona Lisa painting, including that she smiles because she was pregnant based on her swollen hands resting on her belly. It is also said that Leonardo painted it so that her smile disappears when looked at directly but reappears when looking elsewhere in the painting. The true state of mind of the Mona Lisa is unknown due to her mysterious smile that seems to convey different emotions. The painting was stolen from the Louvre in 1911 but was recovered that same December.
