3D Examination of the Mona Lisa

Photographs and Images of the Project – Figure 7

Figure 7: A color-coded elevation level contour map, similar to a topographical map, illustrates an accurate record of the exact overall shape of the poplar panel.

The graduation between each contour line corresponds to a change in elevation of 0.50 mm with the red lines the highest or most elevated areas and the blue-green lines the lowest. This figure illustrates that the panel has a longitudinal convex curvature due to warping which is most pronounced in the area of the left shoulder.
