via

The Isleworth Mona Lisa is a painting of the same subject as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. The painting is claimed by some to be partly an original work of Leonardo dating from the early 16th century.

La Mona Lisa d’Isleworth ou Mona Lisa antérieure , est un tableau attribué à Léonard de Vinci, réalisé au XVe ou au xvie siècle, qui représente un buste de femme ayant une très forte ressemblance avec la célèbre Joconde exposée au musée du Louvre à Paris. Ce tableau est souvent présenté comme une Mona Lisa antérieure.

There are a grand total of 14 oil paintings in the world known to have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci, or rather there were 14. Now there are 15 because a Leonardo that was lost centuries ago has been authenticated by experts from the US and UK. The painting depicts Christ as the Salvator Mundi, the Savior of the World, facing forwards with two fingers of his right hand raised in blessing and a crystal globe in his left hand. It’s oil on a walnut panel and is 2 x 1.5 feet (26 x 18 inches, 66 x 45 cm) in size.
