At the end of the 19th century, the body of a young woman was salvaged from the Seine in Paris.
Since there was no evidence that she had been subjected to violence, the police at the time believed she had committed suicide.
In fact, this was not a very new thing in France at that time.
That's because on average, paris's river police remove 200 bodies of different causes of death from the murky waters of the Seine every year.
Nearly half of them had suicidal intent, and young women took the top spot in the number of suicides.
During that time, French police would display various unidentified bodies in a special public building.
Finally, open to the public so that someone can recognize them.
It has to be said that this may be good in the initial starting point of the way.
However, later, it changed its taste.
The heavily tasted French began to entertain the matter, and men, women and children would watch the corpses display as if they were entering a theater.
Every time the unfortunate deceased is salvaged from the Seine, there are early queues to see the real thing.
This was an important pastime for the French at the time.
And this time the female corpse salvaged from the Seine River has created a legend by mistake.
Generally speaking, drowned corpses have either painful expressions or sinister faces.
However, when the pathologist on duty was dissecting the female corpse, he was surprised to find "her smiling" and "Mona Lisa-like" smile.
Soon the pathologist was captivated by her beauty.
So much so that he finally put a plaster cast on her face to replicate this beauty.
Soon news of the smiling female corpse spread in Paris.
For a time, people's pursuit of her reached its peak.
It wasn't long before an unknown lady, a smiling white plaster model of the Mona Lisa, was blossoming in shops around Paris.
In the years that followed, replicas of masks became fixtures in all Bohemian fashion homes in Europe.
The mysterious smile of the mask captivated artists, poets and novelists.
Over the decades, they wrote dozens of poems and invented a series of stories to give the young woman the identity.
For example, in Richard Le Garanna's 1900 novella The Image of the Admirer, an English poet fell in love with her, eventually leading to the demise of his daughter and wife.
In 1936, in a German film called Die Unbekannte, the woman was given an orphan status, and finally seduced by a rich lover and abandoned to commit suicide.
It can be seen that people love the Mona Lisa of the Seine River.
I don't know if it's a unique love for the Mona Lisa of the Seine, or if it's to increase sales.
A Norwegian toy manufacturer struggles with the facial styling of her CPR (artificial respiration) model.
Finally, he turned to the "unknown woman of the Seine."
He designed a realistic female doll and shaped her face on the famous death mask.
The doll, dubbed the Reusci Anne, is one of its most famous medical products.
CPR Woman Model Face from Senna "Mona Lisa"
A technique widely used worldwide to train medical and nursing students for mouth-to-mouth cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Eventually, it prompted many to call the unknown woman of the Seine the most kissed girl on the planet.
Through this mask, the benevolent brother mistakenly turned the mold into a memorial to the woman.
"Since she has no name and remains a mystery, we will never be able to reach her and stain her... We project our dreams onto her,"
Of course, questions have been raised about the authenticity of this face.
"Is this really the face of death that a drowned corpse should have?"
In this regard, the Paris River Police, who has a wealth of salvage experience, said:
"It was amazing to see such a calm face. Based on past experience, the drowning or suicidal people we find in the water have never been so peaceful. Their faces are painful, vicious, and swollen after being soaked in water, and they don't look good at all..."
Drowning is a violent event, and even suicide at the last moment of life can involuntarily struggle to "survive".
These expressions of horror, pain, and doubt tend to freeze on their faces at the last moment.
And the woman's face was immaculate, and she looked as if she was asleep.
In this regard, some experts even believe that this woman may have been plucked from her body at the last moment.
This, in turn, could be another very confusing passage.
But the truth may be looming in the fog of history, just as the Mona Lisa's smile is full of haze!
