Until two years ago, Prado's Mona Lisa was not much of a draw. But then researchers from the famous spanish museum documented that this lady was most likely painted by someone sitting next to Leonardo da Vinci.
The discovery is mainly important for what it reveals about the painting of the real Mona Lisa, a gem that has been darkened by layers of aging lacquer. For example, the copy shows an armrest that can't be seen in the original; the lady also has a younger look than in the original.
