19 13, Hugh Blake, a collector living in ellsworth, London, bought this painting, hence the name "Mona Lisa in ellsworth". 1936 After Hugh died, this painting was inherited by her sister Jane Black. 1947, when Jane died, American collector Henry Pulitzer bought this painting and left it to his girlfriend.
This painting has changed hands several times. The present owner is a Swiss consortium. It stayed in the bank vault for 40 years before it was able to "see the light of day" and appeared in Geneva in 20 12. David Feldman, vice chairman of the Mona Lisa Foundation in Zurich, Switzerland, said that after the painting was made public, he contacted the Italian geometer Alfonso rubino. Rubino made an extended study based on another work of leonardo da vinci, The Vitruvian Man, and found that the geometric composition of the Mona Lisa in Elvas matched the scale used by Leonardo to describe the human body, which may be an original work by leonardo da vinci.
