Did Leonardo da Vinci paint two Mona Lisas? Where are they?

Another version of the above exists, attributed to Salaj:

There is only one Mona Lisa, at the Louvre, fully credited to Leonardo. However, there are several Mona Lisa look-alikes from his studio, some of them quite saucy. The one most similar to the Louvre one is the Prado Mona Lisa, a copy made simultaneously in Leonardo's workshop while he painted the Mona Lisa, probably made by an apprentice(s):

Evidently there was a market for erotic paintings. The American art historian David Brown, curator of Italian Renaissance paintings at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, has suggested that da Vinci painted a saucy parody of the Mona Lisa for his patron Giuliano de Medici, and that the Salai version is a copy.

It is day 42 of the Trump administration. Is the war in Ukraine over? Is inflation solved? Are groceries cheaper?

Then there are the ‘meza nuda’ paintings from his workshop, often referred to as Monna Vannas.

Obviously, the original Mona Lisa also inspired some cheeky versions of her.

While overall similar, there are differences in the shape of the face, the background and other details.

My boyfriend has a major problem/addiction with watching porn, nude/sex scenes on movies and shows, watching hot young girls on tiktok, Instagram, Twitter, and onlyfans. He hides it and lies about it. Should I be concerned with him cheating? What do?

Donna Nuda:

Why do the majority of feminists hate men (not all feminists)?

For the one below, art experts suggest that it contains touches indicating that Leonardo contributed to it.

Why do you think most harem anime and manga have lame male protagonists that would be considered losers and pathetic by most people?
