the picture Lisa del Giocondo, a wo-
man Of Florence. He worked on the
picture for four years from 1900 to
1904. 1t was bought for France by

The value Of the work can only be
imagined, since all offers to buy it
were refused, among them one re-
ported to have been made by the
British government of $5,00O,0O0.
