The story was that the a male sat for the DaVinci portrait...it was the artist’s boyfriend.
The original Mona Lisa was a punk and the copy was probably a female sitter, so that’s why they look different.
Think so?

I've heard that theory before and I certainly can't tell...The major difference between the paintings is the height of the top of the head on Number 2 and a subtle improvement around the eyes, making the subject more feminine.
Nonetheless, if that is an example of what passed for pretty back then, it's amazing that they reproduced at all.

WOW ,big difference to my eye. #2 definitely looks more female.
