The text claims that Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa's lips for 12 years.

The claim that Leonardo da Vinci painted Mona Lisa's lips for 12 years lacks direct evidence in the provided sources. The available web evidence discusses da Vinci's meticulous study of facial proportions and the ambiguity of Mona Lisa's smile but does not specifically confirm he painted the lips for 12 years. No evidence directly addressing this claim was found, and historical records do not support such a precise duration for this specific part of the painting process.
