EDITORS COMMENTS
This comedic postcard captures the iconic Mona Lisa in a whole new light after her infamous theft in 1911. The Mona Lisa is depicted making a rude gesture and saying goodbye with the caption "Je reviendra dans quelques ans quand les poules auront des dents" (I will come back in a few years when chickens have teeth). This humorous take on the stolen masterpiece adds a touch of levity to an otherwise serious crime.
Published during the early 20th century, this postcard reflects the wit and creativity of the time. The black and white image of the Mona Lisa's mischievous expression is sure to bring a grin to anyone's face. Despite being at the center of a high-profile robbery, she still manages to maintain her enigmatic charm.
The artist behind this playful interpretation, Leonard de Selva, has captured the essence of humor and satire in this artwork. It serves as both a commentary on criminality and an homage to one of art history's most famous paintings.
Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate a good joke, this comedy postcard of the Mona Lisa is sure to delight viewers for years to come.
