Abstract
People looking at Mona Lisa, the famous artwork of Leonardo
Da Vinci, believe that she looks at them from every direction they
look at her. However in a survey the author has conducted, that has
never been done before, 500 people were asked to look at her from
right, front and left sides. The results were surprising and negate
the well-known myth that Mona Lisa looks at the observer from all
directions viewed. Only 65% confirmed that Mona Lisa gave back
a look to them. In addition 93% confirmed that Mona Lisa was
looking at them while observing at her from the right, 72% from
the front and 78% from the left
