		The sitter does not possess the wittiness of the earlier da’Vinci images and she appears rather solemn in contrast to Mona Lisa and Lady With An Ermine.
		Also, the symbol of the juniper is an emblem of both virginity and purity.
		The Andrea del Verrocchio theory is highly questionable as the sculptor was adhering to court fashion and the fact that he did not submit a title to his work of art in identifying the female model.

		Atalay, an artist and University of Mary Washington physics professor, suggests in his new book, "Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo da Vinci," that the enduring appeal of da Vinci's paintings may lie in the painter-scientist-engineer's conscious use of perspective, pattern and symmetry, all of which are rooted in math.
		The same geometric construction is evident in the only other two known portraits that da Vinci painted: "Ginevra de Benci" and "Lady with an Ermine (Portrait of Cecilia Gallerani)," which is Atalay's favorite of the three.
		Atalay said "Math and the Mona Lisa" began simply as notes for a physics class at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg in spring 2000.
