A remarkable copy of the Mona Lisa, which may have been created by Leonardo da Vinci himself, is set to be exhibited at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles. This version, owned by the heirs of W.H. Vernon, was brought to the United States from France in 1797 and has intrigued art historians for centuries. While on display, the artwork will undergo testing to further investigate its origins and the possibility of da Vinci's involvement in its creation.
