Well, yes, you see it. Quite disturbing isn't it? She looks like Mona Lisa, but not completely. And she is naked. 

This painting is often referred to as the topless Mona Lisa, though the comparison draws considerable flattery to the Donna Nuda. Belonging to the Hermitage collection, this painting was once attributed to Leonardo’s pet pupil Salai, and is now catalogued as school of. It is the finest of many versions of a model naked at a balcony beyond which lies a rocky arctic-green landscape. With her brazen gaze and slack, milky flesh, it is as if La Gioconda has been stripped literally and figuratively of her mystery.

Well, I hope we surprised you with this painting!  : )
