A French engineer discovered her missing eyebrows by analyzing the painting with a specially-made high-definition camera. The camera took a super-high resolution photograph of 150,000 dots per square inch and discovered a single hair painted by a single brushstroke! The engineer also claims there are fewer cracks around Mona’s eyes, which may indicate a brow and last alteration performed by a museum curator at some point! The enlargement also reveals that the model’s left hand was originally in a different position. This is due to a lap blanket being held by Leonardo’s subject! The blanket is now so faded that it can barely be seen, but the magnified photograph has revealed the truth.
