There are several different theories that have been considered about who could be the mysterious woman on the painting. The woman figure on the painting is dressed in the Florentine  fashion of her day and seated in a visionary landscape. She has an enigmatic expression on her face that gives the artwork a heavenly mystery. Some sources claim that the painting depicts a young Florentine woman whose husband, Francesco  del Giacondo commissioned the portrait of his wife. To please Goacondo, Da Vinci used the sfumato techniques  to achieve the perfect beauty of a woman. Hence, the Mona Lisa later became the symbol of the perfect female creature.
