25、t easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态).Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when youre not looking at her, she seems to be smiling,
