Mona Lisa has no eyebrows
--------
There are 2 theories about this fact:
1. Some researchers claim that it was common at this time for genteel women to pluck them out, since they were considered to be unsightly.
2. In 2007, French engineer Pascal Cotte announced that his ultra high resolution scans of the painting provide evidence that Mona Lisa was originally painted with eyelashes and eyebrows, but that these had gradually disappeared over time, perhaps as a result of overcleaning.
