Check out this new article on another 'Mona Lisa' painting, called 'Mona Lisa Prado'.  Interesting.

I particularly liked a last paragraph referring to payment to specific tasks: 
"It says that 'Ferrando the painter' was paid 5 fiorins, while Tommaso Masini, also known as Zoroastro da Peretola, was paid 1 fiorin to crush the colors," Vezzosi said."
 
Cheers, Hillary
