    Dubbed ‘Ducati Mona Lisa’, the artwork is part of a series where Jisbar reinterprets Da Vinci's masterpiece in different ways. In ‘Ducati Mona Lisa’ the female figure is surrounded by visual and graphic elements that recall the history of Ducati, its models in the range and some of its most famous riders.
