twelve enigmatic smiles - a photo on Flickriver

             "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world". 

Seen several years ago in a shop window in Argentat, W. France, the collage is the work of local schoolchildren. It still makes me smile - particularly 'La Gauloise'. I wonder how many of these talented young artists chose to study art after leaving school.

note: text, interestingly in English: "Do you smile to tempt a lover Mona Lisa, or is this your way to hide a broken heart."
