Mona Lisa Overlay


Recently it was discovered there was a copy of the infamous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. This replica was discovered in Spain’s Prado art museum and can be read further here http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/art/news/mona-lisas-twin-sister-is-discovered--500-years-late-6297843.html

What I have done is an overlay of one on top of the other. One thing to note, is that this new copy had a black backdrop, not the roaming hills that we're used to seeing. I have deferred to the more scenic background in this overlay. 

When doing this overlay I was able to see that the facial structure is almost identical on both paintings. Overall they are very similar with the differences lying in the body structure, such as one shoulder a bit lower than the other, and in the attire being a bit more elegant such as ruffles on the shirt wrists.
