Leonardo da Vinci is painting the portrait of Mona Lisa but cannot understand what is really behind her enigmatic smile. A dialogue about art, love and beauty with his disciples Antonio and Florio, the Jew Ishmael and her servant Stelio, will eventually lead him to give his own interpretation to the mystery.
A one-act play by Nobel Literature Prize winner Jacinto Benavente that, despite its brevity, encapsulates all the Spanish author’s talent.
