A well-known French art critic, M. Paul Geoll, maintains that the "Alor.a' Lisa" recently stolen from tho Lonvro was not tho original painting. Instead of tlio "expression of m.vslie pre.«eienre" of the original, lie averts that the stol?n picturo had merely "a finicking, characterless smile," and that it* execution was laboured and worked up. Recent visitors to the l/ouvre will scarcely believe that, in Rufus Choate's phrase, they hnvo "dilated nt the wrong emotion" wlieu looking at the celebrated painting.
