[67] [68] [69] Other later copies of the Mona Lisa, such as those in the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and The Walters Art Museum, also display large flanking columns. As a result, it was thought that the Mona Lisa had been trimmed. [70] [71] [72] [73] However, by 1993, Frank Zöllner observed that the painting surface had never been trimmed; [74] this was confirmed through a series of tests in 2004. [75] In view of this, Vincent Delieuvin, curator of 16th-century Italian painting at the Louvre, states that the sketch and these other copies must have been inspired by another version, [76] while Zöllner states that the sketch may be after another Leonardo portrait of the same subject.
