Leonardo and the 'Isleworth Mona Lisa'
2 Answers
I have read some references to a painting by Leonardo referred to as the 'Isleworth Mona Lisa' - a different painting from the Mona Lisa in the Louvre - but I cannot find any mention of it on art websites on the internet that I have looked at, so I don't know what it looks like. Can anyone give me more information on the painting, like its official title and where it is now located, or even a link if possible to a reproduction of the image on the web?

It was discovered just before WWI by a Bath artwork dealer who took it to his home in Isleworth. It is much bigger than yhe Mona Lisa in the Louvre and the unfinished background is merely sketched in. You can see a pic of it here:-
