Framed text:



Wrong route 

I received an invitation for a special appointment: "Dear Sophie, to see the Mona Lisa, it will be on the 16th at 3 p.m., if you are free...". When I entered the room where she reigns, at the far end, the Mona Lisa, naked, out of frame, had just undergone a health check and was turning her back to me. My heart pounded as I approached her. As they began to work on her, I was surprised to read on the back of the frame: "cale joconde". Was this a sign? Or just an egocentric stunt with a misspelling of my name?
