in 2015, an academic publication by professors lorusso and natali documented an exhaustive analysis of mona lisa paintings and copies, and concluded that both "mona lisa" and the "isleworth mona lisa" were original works by leonardo. in 2016, in another academic publication, professors asmus, parfenov and elford published the results of scientific examinations that established to their satisfaction that the same artist painted the face of both the "mona lisa" and the "isleworth mona lisa".









































in 2017, gérard boudin de l'arche published a comprehensive historical account and stated that leonardo painted the "isleworth mona lisa" before the louvre "mona lisa".
